Welcome to the Mainsteam Models Photo Gallery.
This is a typical example of the type of Live Steam Launch that I produce.
Hand built, one at a time, to a very high standard, personalised to customer requirements. Suitable for sailing & display purposes. Delivery time is usually 3 to 4 months from date of order.
The steam plant type is your own choice, from a simple oscillating cylinder steam plant, up to a full top class twin cylinder slide valve engine, with a proper marine boiler, working steam whistle, working live steam "Weir" pump, hand pump etc etc.
The full price of a complete steam launch very much depends on the type of steam plant and radio control unit that is fitted to the model. Customers own steam plants can also be fitted to these steam launches.
