Default RE: thinking of steam

hehe.......no, I was trying to be sarcastic
I am expecting a scale speed from it....time will tell.


How does a throttle work on these steam boats ?
I can see that this one does not have a throttle.
Can one be installed?

Can the whistle on it let out enough pressure, to actualy regulate the power/speed of this engine ?

What happens, if some seaweed gets tangled into the ptop, and it stops running.........but pressure keeps building up in the boiler ?
The safety valve looks very small, but i gues that it should prevent it from exploding ?
