Greetings! I’m new here. I have been a model builder since the 1970s, mostly airplanes. This is my first foray into live steam. I recently found a 36” Midwest Seguin tugboat kit, in pristine, untouched condition at a swap meet, and I couldn’t refuse… Getting ready to get started. Any thoughts on a good steam power plant? I have a Saito T2DR and B2F boiler that I found online at a great price, but I am not sure this boiler will fit into the hull properly. Do you think a BT-1 or BT-1L boiler will work with the T2DR engine? Seems a vertical boiler is more suited to the hull and superstructure.
