Hello and thank you!
I wouldn't recommend building a burner like my drawing because it is somewhat difficult and temperamental to operate. I would be much easier to build a normal alcohol wick...

RE: RC live steam tugboat / icebreaker

RE: tugboat smok stack advice *UPDATE*

The stack itself looks very nice. However, it is a bit odd because it is the same height as the cab. I would suggest making the smokestak somewhat higher. Easily done if you add a sort of base under...

RE: RC live steam tugboat / icebreaker

Thanks!

RE: RC live steam tugboat / icebreaker

I used to have a silicon hose too, it worked fine too.
However, steam did actually melt the soft solder, because it was at the connection to an older oiler I used to have, so quite far from the...

RE: RC live steam tugboat / icebreaker

Questions for the expert modelers around here:

Where should I place the position lights? I don't think i want to add a mast.

RE: RC live steam tugboat / icebreaker

Hi everyone. This Sunday I have added a custom hook to the tugboat. Grinded a brass piece in the right shape for that. It's soldered together (support rail to base) and screwed to the deck. The hook...

RE: RC live steam tugboat / icebreaker

Hi Peter,

I can only recommend the steam engine accessories from Niggel. That oiler is very well made. The website is http://www.modellbau-niggel.de/ and I don't know of any other suppliers....

RE: RC live steam tugboat / icebreaker

That's correct and it's useful, otherwise one can't do maintenance work on the engine in such a tight space.
I will be able to remove the boiler and engine quite easily. They are mounted both in...

You have to install a separate steam valve on the pipe connecting boiler and engine. There are such valves with a lever instead of a wheel, so they are suitable for rc control.
