Post by: richardingle on October 27, 2012, 05:27:32 AM

Hello all, I am a Newby to Paddleducks and paddle steamers but not new to model building, after many years of building the usual kit models, aircraft, cars and boats I needed a new challenge ,so now I design and build my own models, to date they include, a land yacht, a tracked ski modified truck a supercat 6x6 also a twin hulled airboat which is now a second build luxury yacht version ,oh and now a hybrid paddle steamer ferry for my daughter, loving the site so far

Here is the dartmouth higher ferry old and new. Paddle driven, but runs across the river on chains, I beleve the chains have been replaced by cables. The chains having snapped  several times in the past, the ferry floting off down the river.R.G.Y
