Hi,
I am Bob (aka Bellcrank), I am a returning modeller - (after years of doing dangerous pastimes and a high speed crash while driving to one, friends suggested I take up something less adrenaline based) so I return to model boats after a 15 year hiatus. So my skill sets may be a little rusty.

I am mainly interested in Sternwheelers of the Yukon and American rivers, there is a certain hard to define charm about them, (it used to be Japanese warships and minesweepers in my earlier days ).

Ahoy Bob,
Welcome aboard. Where are you located?  I too am into researching stern wheelers. Am slowly designing engines for the City of Eugene launched in Eugene, Oregon in 1898.  Slow work as not much information available.

Check the photo gallery for some of my picts of the City of Eugene and better picts of the Portland as in (Portland Oregon).

Hi Bill,
I live in the U.K. (on the outskirts of Bristol), I don't have too much literature at the moment (but I am working on it), American sternwheeler Book are not too common on this side the ditch unfortunately. However ebay and bookfinder are proving useful.

Bob.
