Hi Les, good to see you on YT again. Live Steam🙂👍👍👍 precision Engineering Art at its best. My copy of the printed version of your Steamboat book is still one of my prized possessions, I'm sure you'll do very well with the extended and updated E version of the book. Cheers Paul

I have this book and it is a treasure trove of information!

when are you going to put them in the water

I have the printed version and it is a great resource for model steam boats! 😅

Beautiful engines

thanks Leslie. fantastic!

You have lost some marbles 😂

Awesome!

Beau travail, félicitation.

i would love to get in contact with you about getting a steam powered boat! i think this is so interesting i would love to have some of your work!

i would love to learn how to make this engine and boiler for a mini tug boat in the koi pond

Thanks for sharing all the best to you and yours from John in Texas

She scoots right along there!

Well done

Reversing valve works great. 👍

Very good information, thanks for sharing.

It moves along, but I'm trying to find a balance between propeller size, engine speed and boat speed that will allow more of a visible wake. Not a skipping hydroplane with a rooster tail, but a nice clip that lasts for maybe 3 to 4 minutes. Wondering if any of your tiny vessels are capable of anything like that? Thinking that it will require a gas fired boiler, and maybe 12 to 15 PSI ?n🤔

Love these little steam boats ! 👍

fantastic

fantastic design. it smells of Scottish canal steamships carrying barrels of whiskey :)

simple beautiful! amazing job Leslie!

Are you interested at all in selling these lovely engines? It's really difficult to find quality beta stirling engines for sale currently, and I would love to own one.

That little guy really moves! 👍 Has a little wake even, but seems to want to head for the sticks.

Great little set up! That burner and boiler set up is amazing. I assume the water surrounds the internal copper fittings and the little tube just sticks up near the top of the inside of the boiler above the water level?

Good afternoon, The Clyde "puffer" was so called because the single cylinder double acting engine exhausted up the funnel ( smoke stack ) making a chuffing sound.

Those lifting mechanisms were incredibly imaginative!

Great job..

Are plans available for this engine?

HI! I just saw your fantastic little steam engines and I was speechless by their beauty....you are a genius! I would like to try to build one if you will help me by providing the construction plans. I thank you in advance Moritz

Why do you need the spacers in the end of the video? Was it too tight on the crankshaft? Regards, Xander

Great idea to build it like this. Gives it a very optically pleasing appearance

Hi Leslie do you still sell the book of plans for your engines an boilers?

Great little engines!

As usual, you combine beauty with mechanics. Cheers!

This is so fun to watch. So what kind of tools do you use to make these?

This is fantastic what a great gift

Very nice engine. Good work

OK, im not the only one asking for plans.....how do I get the plans to build these please??

Beautiful craftsmanship there i love the man winding the handle definitely worth the extra work

My brother Les is super creative and talented. I'm proud of him.

If they're still movable, I would swap the sitting and sleeping gnomes. That way the sleeping gnome is _asleep at the switch_ .

That's really beautiful

Another excellent working model. Mary's a lucky girl to have such talented Grand father.

Another great job Les. I was thinking about making a marble machine for my grandson. Do you follow plans or are these your own design? Thanks for sharing.~Paul

A wonderful piece of art. I hope Mary will treasure it forever. Thank you for sharing this with us. Happy Christmas from the UK.

Great job Sir. I’m sure She’ll Love it. Happy Holidays to You, and Thanks for Sharing with Us 👍🏻

Cool.

Superb craftsmanship!

very nice!

Nice job with both engines, love them!
