Construction of Jeanie Deans.

[Mike]

  Thanks Allan.
  I did not know the size was changed.
  There were many changes over the years and the drawings I looked at were the original
ones in the Glasgow Library. The boat colours and build were from photo's in 1948. your
photo from an identical position must have been taken about 1 month after my photo that
I used. My photo has buff funnels and gold lines. the lines soon disappeared.
  I made my funnels to equal 7ft 6inches to the many photo's I scaled.

I don't have my drawings any more - was pestered for them by a member of the Model Steamer Club and let them go - I wish I hadn't now!   But from memory the Waverley's funnels were 9' in width longways and 7' 6" widthwise from memory - Jeanie's were the same.  Waverley's funnels got changed in the 1960s and the welded ones that Lamonts made were not the correct elliptical profile of the originals and four times the weight.  During the millennium rebuild new aluminium funnels of the correct profile and riveted to look like the originals were fitted.
Jeanie Deans original funnels were 7'6" diameter and circular.
Both Jeanies (post war) and Waverley's originally had spark arrestors fitted inside but these were removed when they were converted to oil burning.

Good view showing Waverley's funnels.   Jeanies post-war ones were built from the same drawings.

These photos will help.

The first shows Jeanie Deans after war service awaiting reconditioning
The second shows her at Pointhouse with work in progress.
The third shows the new forward funnel erected and the after inner funnel complete with spark arrestor in position.

No problem - always willing to help!

Further view attached which gives an excellent idea of the proportions of the post-war funnels when viewed from rear three-quarters.
