Hi All,

The picture is a composite that shows a wooden craft item and two pop-pop boats
cut and pasted from Rakesh Giri's website- and a wooden hull and unit pop-pop
engine cut from Tony Green's website. Anyone who has visited Buzz's Boatyard at
http://www.buzzboats.com/poppop.htm or similar websites probably suspects that
the era of imported tin pop-pop boats as toys is about to go the way of the Dodo
Bird. Tony Green Steam provided a safer alternative with no sharp edges or lead
based paint before sales were suspended in March of this year and Rakesh Giri
might provide a similar source for wooden hulls and unit engines with a bit of
encouragement to do so. Anyone who would like to contact him could refer to post
#1602 for his email address.

Best wishes,
Old Frank
