Stuart, Just found this picture of my GLEN USK  Geoff

Thanks Geoff. I have to say the response has been disappointing and (Dare I say it) I haven't really noticed that every one posts all the relevent info! We'll see how it goes over the next few weeks.

Nice model BTW!

I have two paddler models at present, one complete and the second under construction.

'John H Amos' - based on the Graupner 'Glasgow' hull and paddlewheels with the rest scratch built. 1:40 scale, 39" long and fitted with a live steam twin cylinder oscillating power plant of my own design and build.

'Lady Janette' - started out as the Hobbies kit 'Lady Jane' and extensively modified as a freelance Clyde paddler. 1:76 scale, 32" long. Will eventually be electrically powered when its stability 'problems' are sorted.

If more details needed, let me know

Thanks for the info Phil - lovely looking models!

The 'Hobbies' one looks good with all those windows, does that come as standard? mine has only four either end and a covered area at the rear... and some I've seen have only three...

Superstructure was scratch built along similar lines to the PS 'Marmion' - the 'windows' were drawn up on the PC and printed out on decal paper. So, nowhere near to a standard Hobbies kit!

Colour scheme was as close as I could get to the Caledonian Steam Packet Company - and, yes, they did have pale pink saloon sides!
