Title: Hello from West Yorkshire
Post by: Bpue on September 27, 2021, 10:48:39 PM

I've been registered with  Paddleducks for over a year,  looking in now and then. I've  built  3 1/2" and 5" steam  locomotives in the past,  stopped model  engineering some time ago. Started model boat building a couple of years ago. Recently acquired  a minilathe and  micro mill ( why did I sell  my  Myford  ML10?).
So thinking  of combining the  two interests , by  building  a steam boat.

Please keep us posted with your progress, especially if it's a paddle steamer (hint hint).

If I build a paddler, it would be Forceful, obviously not steam powered!. I have the 'Model Boats ' magazines covering the construction and the free plan.
Will have to finish the Joffre I'm doing first, nearly there.
