to Build a Model Steam Launch"

Full of information & useful tips for successfully building the type of Steam Launch that you see on this website. I am actually building a launch for real in the video.

Filmed & narrated entirely by Keith Appleton, as I actually build a launch, assemble and install the steam plant into the boat & test the launch in steam.
