STEAM LAUNCH

BORKUM

This fine model of Borkum, a steam launch from the Belle Epoque which was based at the port of Emden in Lower Saxony in north-west Germany. It was originally an island supply vessel. The model is by R Simpson and was shown at the 2018 Doncaster show.

A kit of parts to build Borkum in 1:12 scale is available to which live steam and radio control can be added.
