Title: Paddlewheel kit?
Post by: michael4spoons on June 21, 2005, 05:07:55 AM

Does anyone know where I can find a kit for a PADDLEWHEEL ONLY
(sternwheel)? Do NOT want a kit for a whole boat, just the
paddlewheel itself. I'm talking 1:96 scale. If not, how about plans
for same?

Don't know of any paddlewheel kits, but I have a couple of
sternwheeler plans. Wheels are different sizes for different boats,
and depending on diameter, some have more buckets. Do you know about
what diameter and width you need for your wheel?

Hi Michael,
I posted drawings of the paddlewheel that I built for
my sternwheeler, the Suter, in my folder titled Suter.
All you would need to do is scale the dimensions to
what you need. As far as a "kit", I don't know anyone
that makes a kit for just a paddlewheel. If I can be
of more assistance please let me know.
