Can anyone point me in the right direction for a manual for this engine?

And by engine I mean STEAM engine.

I know it is as far from a plane/heli/multirotar as you can get but someone here may know where I can get the right info I need.

It is in a cargo boat my late farther-in-law built and I'd like to get it going again. Especially as he used the same boiler/engine in a paddle steamer we have and I'd love to get that going again.

Someone else might be able to help you more, but from what little googling I was able to do it seems most of these are custom built.

You might check a forum on the topic for some better assistance.

Flight related or not, that is COOL! I wish you the best in restoring it to operable condition. Do you know the fuel source it uses?

I also must add this: Curse you for posting a pic of the beautiful model engine and FlyingMonkey for posting that forum link! I'm now drooling over the amazing work on that board and thinking, "boats are pretty cool, steam engines are VERY cool..." I can't afford another hobby right now! Argh!
