Doug.........the Surry Park model boating club in Victoria have possibly the largest collection of Australian river model paddlers

You will find the AA, Pevensey, Decoy and a few others on their WEB site.....these guys would be a good starting point for an electric drive

I also have the F a B plans for the Oscar W as drawn in 1:24, however the cabin structure would hide my steam plant, so have enlarged the PS Adelaide plans from 1:24 to 1:20 which will accommodate my steam plant & due to the simplicity of the structure will make it viewable..............

PS...the hull shown is my 25 year old PS Decoy......& the steam plant is too large for this hull..................Derek
