Hi,all.First off, Happy New Year and may this year bring many projects out from under the benches,where they had been carefully stored ;D
I was leafing through some older "model boats"(UK)magazines from 1988 and there was a series of articles about building a V-2 launch(marine) engine,by Peter Arnot.
I was wondering if anyone has built this engine,and if it had sufficient power to drive a steam launch of 36" to 40".
A launch (S. L. Swift)was actually part of the build series,as well as a pump,and boiler,but I can't find any reference to the plan on the "Model Boats"site.Anyone know if it's still available?For the boat,that is.The engine plans were all part of the articles.
I have nearly finished Bog's twin piston valve,so scouting around for something new to do.
I think Bog's engine is actually a bit big for the type of boat I want to put it in.
