My grandfather built this in the 1930's, including the steam engine. The black book in the foreground is a magazine that he published that has a series of articles on how he made it. I know this isn't the usual sort of thing posted here, but figured you'd enjoy it.6yr β Buck_Thorn β r/modelmakers
A different kind of model. My grandfather was a boat builder & designer. He built a model of every boat he designed, to prove out the design.
