I’ve been interested in a steam launch build for some years, but you have to ask yourself….how long? Though if I had started it when I first became interested!!!

I discovered this picture – built on a British Seagull. Can anyone offer any thoughts.

I hope this link goes to the correct picture as I couldn’t get the picture to load into the thread.
