Building instructions for the "OTTO LAUFFER" model boat, Order No.: 2102
The original
The steam launch OTTO LAUFFER was built at H.C. Stülcken & Son in Hamburg in 1928. The launch
is powered by a 2-cylinder compound steam engine rated at 100 BHP (75 kW). It is capable of a top
speed of 9.5 kn, carries a 3-man crew and is licensed to carry 30 passengers.
The launch was built under contract to the Hamburg Finance Committee, and initially bore the name
Hafenpolizei (Harbour Police) VI. The vessel later changed hands, and its name was changed to
WASSERSCHUTZPOLIZEI (Marine Police) 6 when it belonged to the Hamburg Marine Police service.
The boat's current owner is the Hamburg History Museum, and the launch was assigned the name
OTTO LAUFFER in honour of the museum's first Director.
The model
Our model of the launch is closely based on the full-size vessel, and is drawn to around 1 : 20 scale.
The steam launch was designed expressly for the new IST-L steam engine (Order No. 1940). As an
alternative it is possible to install an electric power system.
Since the model calls for a modicum of building skill it is not suitable for the beginner to modelling. The
steam engine version also requires a certain level of experience in operating steam engines. Auxiliary
functions such as a working lighting system can be installed at the builder's discretion
