No rough seas, just smooth sailing.

Rob, your African Queen looks wonderful!
Great work on the boiler, and she does run much smoother than your other ship.
She literally appears to be moving under her own power, so very nice work on figuring out how to do that!

Rob,

Great work on the boiler and the whole boat. I watched your video on You Tube earlier today.
What an amazing diorama this will be when completed.  Good for you!

Thanks Mike.  Yep was fun to finally have a model of the African Queen.
Lots more fun to come with the start of the new Jungle Cruise layout.

Thanks Rick and Greg.  Very happy that this one is running smoothly.  I'd about given up on the idea.

Thanks Rich.  Will be a bit more than a diorama.  A mini exhibition layout.  About 25" x 6'.
Will have the boat running around on the bottom river level, and a train circling round the cliffs on a higher level, with lots of dramatic scenery, and some signature Jungle Cruise scenes.

Rob actually watched your video on FB last night. Fantastic job!!! I was amazed on how smoothly the boat moved around the harbor....kudos for coming up with a very believable attraction. Looking forward to seeing how this progresses.
