The model is fitted with a twin
cylinder, slide valve, reversing engine of 9mm bore X 9mm stroke. Steam
is drawn from a large capacity, gas fired boiler, fitted with a safety
valve, water column and pressure gauge. Steaming time is forty minutes
at sustained high speed. The model has a fibreglass hull. The cabin and
open areas are panelled in alternate pear and lime, stained to represent
the mahogany and pine of the prototype. The saloon has a galley and w.c.
The seats in the saloon are upholstered, the floor carpeted and there
is a drop-leaf table. There are two steering positions, one in the forward
cockpit and one in the centre cockpit. There are over 120 brass fittings
and castings in the kit (no white metal is used) . These include such
details as boathooks, doorplates and handles, tread plates, taps etc.
At one twelfth scale there is plenty of scope for the miniaturist to add
his or her's own personal touches.
