This is the progress on the launch to take my engine

I like your work.  I am, however, curious why two screws were omitted on the engine's brass shield.

Beautiful engine and boat.  I also have r/c boats, mostly electric and one steam.  I like to do the planking and deck laying.  I have a Hasbrouck Nr.7 I am working on.  It is also a Vertical 2 Cylinder Launch engine.

Mark do you have any copies of the plans for that engine?   Would be a great winter project.  Thanks  Ray

I will try to sort out the plans when I get to the bottom of the swamp(work shop) Ray.
I have had a rather unpleasant experience with Ebay, when I had a close look at the boiler I purchased for the boat it turned out to be soft soldered and then sprayed to cover up the fact.
I had little choice but to cut it up and use the copper to make a new boiler.
With lots of help from a fellow club mate this is the result so far.

And you wonder why there are people who get upset about the specifications in building one. Can't believe they can get away with selling something that dangerous. I guess I'm getting  :offtopic:

Anyway, nice save and the boiler looks real good. At least it will be a much safer boiler.

I had hoped not to have to build the boiler however I am pleased with the result so far compared to the horizontal death trap.
