Egyptian Steam Launch (1 Viewer)

[GICOP]

Egyptian Steam launch on the River Nile circa 1885

The launch started life as a Sail boat and was converted to steam power…….this week:wink2:

Sail boat from Dorset Toy Soldiers along with the Egyptian crew which originally appeared crewing my Nile Paddle Steamer

PS Good to be back posting a few pictures, I love the Song Thread but you can have too much of a good thing sometimes, saying that it did help keep me sane

Just the job as a different display medium Martyn - and doesn't have to cost the Earth. Lovely little piece that - Same for the Trophy thread model (saves a post!) jb

Welcome back!

Hello Martyn,

Thank you for sharing your new converted Dorset sail boat.....small but really nice.

Mr. Giles Brown makes some great castings and painted sets on offer.

I read in Norman Joplin's book he started in the business in 1976 and is still going strong.

My first AZW set in 54mm gloss finish was from Dorset, before I went Trophy.

I'm most glad to see you posting as per normal.

Best Wishes, Raymond
