RADIO CONTROL

by Bill Durham

I always feel a twinge of disappointment when i see a working scale model of a small steam vessel which is fully decked over. Although I don't have any steam-engine building skills myself, I think that the power plant is the most interesting part of a live steam model, and I cannot fathom why a model builder would choose a small craft prototype which buries it away beneath a deck.

I have a fond spot in my heart for the iron-hulled river launches which were once numerous East of Suez These were narrow graceful craft with sturdy little scotch boilers and open compound engines of 60 or 75 horsepower.

Unless one is an absolute purist, the handsome Stuart Turner open frame 'launch' and 'compound' engines come close enough to scale to serve beautifully in, say, a 1 in. to 1ft. model of an Eastern river launch
