Available in light grey with blue base and polished brass fittings.

In addition to the steam turbine, a matching steam exhaust elbow is available as an optional add-on accessory. Manufactured from stainless steel, steel brass & aluminium. The turbine is machined by computer numerical control (CNC) from solid aluminium and is mounted on a fully ball raced, balanced 8mm diameter stainless steel shaft with metric 0.5 mod pitch, driving a 4mm wide machine cut brass main gear to produce an overall ratio of 87:1 through a 1/4″ diameter output shaft with ground flat. All steel parts are electroplated and painted.

The unit is designed for radio control with fully variable forward and reverse rotation, it makes a sensational, ultra realistic steam turbine sound and is extremely powerful with sufficient torque to easily run a single 100mm (4″) diameter propeller or run up to 4 smaller 37mm (1.5″) diamater propellors, making this turbine a superb drive choice for your WWII cruiser or battleship. Forward rotation is counter clockwise and reverse rotation is clockwise. Available with ladder and catwalk.

Steam Output: 15mm (5/8″) tube.
Steam Pressure: 35 – 85PSI.
Output RPM (Approx): 1,200RPM @ 45-60PSI, Reverse Less 10%
1,700RPM @ 65-80PSI, Reverse Less 10%.
Reduction Ratio: 8.7:1.
Impellor Diameter: 58.4mm.
Shaft Diameter: 6.35mm (1/4”).
Mounting Dimensions: 69mm (w) x 137mm (l).
Mounting Holes: 4mm.
Throttle Arm Thread: 2mm.
Weight: 1.2kg.
Oil Intervals (Turbine): Every 15hrs, flush with paraffin, drain from filler cap under catwalk then add 6 drops of light (3 in 1 type) oil.
Oil Intervals (Gearbox): Every 15hrs, flush with paraffin, drain from filler cap on rear of gearbox then add 15-20ml of 10w50 SAE engine oil.
