HUGE RC ONE-OFF of Switzerland's Postcard Boat - LARGE SCALE 1913 Gallia Live Steam Paddle Steamer

This absolutely unique large scale live steam paddle steamer, the DS Gallia, was one of the highlights of the model boat cruising days in Möriken-Wildegg, organized by the Aargau Model Ship Building Club "ASK" this weekend. The DS Gallia (DS = Dampfschiff = Steam Boat) is unique in every respect worldwide and even the paddle steamer's propulsion system is a faithful replica of the original boat, which still stands in public services on the postcard Lake Lucerne in Switzerland. The original boat was realized in 1913 by Escher-Wyss & Cie in Zurich. Stefan Koch, the builder of this unique XXL scale ship, reckons that he has invested around 1200 working hours in the construction of this RC giant. This is passion and dedication at its best!
