The Swiss Steam Ship Stadt Luzern has a Three Cylinder Uniflow Steam Engine, with hydraulic Valve Gear, a Forced Lubrication System, a semi-automated hydraulic Control System, and Condensers with Water Turbines inside. This Engine is very different from the Engines found on all 14 other Swiss Paddle Steamers, and it was built in 1929 by Sulzer in Winterthur, and is the last Steam Engine ever built by Sulzer.
Usually, Passengers can't visit the Engine Room. Special Thanks to @Vierwaldstaettersee for allowing me to make this Video.
