I am a newbie steamer and paddleduck. My current project is a modified version of the Nina (the plans came in a 1981 issue of a model magazine published in the UK, can't recall the name of it right now). The Nina is a Windermere side-paddle launch of about 36 in long. I am using a Wilesco D52 this has required some modification since the engine is bigger than the Unit Steam Engine recommended. I am making the whole engine steam plant mount removable so I can swap it with other models.
No pictures as yet, I'm still waiting on getting a digital camera. Also I haven't worked on it in 3 months. I have house related projects that need to be done or my wife will not take such a kind view of my hobbies.
