This is a big boat
Measuring 30 inches in length
And 3,1/2 across the beam
These boats where built for speed
And could travel 250 yards in one run
Although not a steam boat
It is a Bowman, and, I love it.



 

Meccano steam engine.
If you were not fortunate enough to have
A live steam engine you could always make
One out of Meccano.

Hobbies Bowman M122.
Bowman M122
This was the flagship of the
Bowman range boasting twin cylinders
Whistle and a nice strong wooden crate
For packing your steam engine away
At the end of the day.
