Mr. Spike ( If I may).

For anyone who has ever said "where's a darn engineer when you need one?"

May they deserve a swift kick in the groin.

Oh you have plenty of time by the way, I am still having a time modeling scotch boilers and coal bunkers...

There y'go, this is a turbine "set" showing both High and Low pressure turbines.

My mind is blown, I honestly didn't know if you could find it.

Much appreciation, I will adapt and put this in my model as soon as I put in the watertight bulkeads for the engine room.

Yoss, a strange thought just occured to me, lets be naughty boys and ask Spike if he has the blue print for the Mayflower....

I am just jesting, Spike....

You didn't throw away anything, didn't you....

There's hoarders, then their planners. You see, who knows when you may need proper documentation for such designs?

You never know when a buddy will call to remedy a kink or two in a steam ship he just aquired....

It's better to be prepared.

Now all I have to do is replicate this beauty and we are set!

I wish you good luck, my friend. Do let us know how it turn out...

Is this the rotor you had to change in Singapore Spike?

I don't know why, but I imagined turbines to be much longer.

Yes Viper, the HP rotor is only a bit over 2 metres long (but very heavy), and it had been flown all the way from the UK only to be dropped on the tarmac by the forklift from about 2 metres.

I thought our Engineer "The Ferret" was going to jump on his hat when it happened, he immediately took the serial number of the one that was dropped and said that he would not accept it under any circumstances. Whoo hoo!!,... another six or seven weeks in Singapore while they assembled a new one and flew it out.
All the way back to the Dockyard the driver and I could hardly stop ourselves from cheering and jumping about, but with The Ferret jammed in the front of the truck with us, we didn't think that it would have been well received.

The Ferret, despite his nickname was actually a really nice chap, (most Engineers were), he was called that because his name was Ferrier.

Now that is a beautifully made model, I'd say it's a 1900 - 1920 vintage engine.
