I bought Brunel in 2004 with a boiler in bits and no plumbing. It took me till 2005 to work out how to put it all together and to do the work. She has since been used regularly each season with little going wrong that could not be easily repaired.

I keep her in my garage with my cars and take her to the Forth / Clyde and Union canals - she has been up the Falkirk Wheel several times -, the Scottish lochs, lake Windermere and the Port Soy traditional boat festival on the North sea coast of Scotland by trailer.

Each winter I remove the boiler and engine for cleaning and inspecting and last winter I turned her upside down (parbuckling) and repainted the hull.

All the best and good steaming

Roger
