An old engraving of a marine engine that could be used in a model paddle boat the 1800s. It is from Victorian book of the 1890s on sports, games and pastimes. This steam engine has two pistons (left), connected to a crank shaft supplying the power to each paddle wheel. The boiler (right) would have been heated from below by a small oil lamp to create the steam power. Today compressed gas, such as butane, is often used for model steam boats.
