Hello tony, Have you checked out the Graupner feathering wheel kit
for size? I think you may find them about right until you can finish
your brass set. Cheers, Walter.

Compliments of the season Walter,
I hadn't given much thought to the Graupner kit (until recently) but
will certainly do so as a stop gap measure, while the brass work
continues. Size certainly suits what I'm presently doing.
Coincidentally, I was looking through some back copies of Marine
Modelling International (or was it Model Boats?) just last week and
saw a series of articles on an 'African' style split sternwheeler -
Luemba or Lulemba I think - which used the Graupner wheels. An
interesting approach (but one ugly model, esp. around the bow, dare I
say:-).
Grateful thanks for the suggestion.
Kind regards
Tony

Welcome back, and great to hear from you!
Nope, I didn't forget your feathering blades and put them in my post
3198 only yesterday to John who wants to build DOF (the Scottish
one)...
"For those who don't want to build their own feathering wheels, Mike
Mayhew of Waverley Models in the UK can supply sets.
