Jeanie Deans. My interpretation

After an 18 month build time I thought it may be of interest to other members to see my efforts.
This is a 1/48 scale model  of Jeanie Deans, a sizeable lump at 65 inches long.
Mainly constructed from photographs obtained from the various web sites and that which I was able to glean from topics on Paddleducks.
I have used six channels to operate her, obviously one for throttle which is linked to a steam generator and synchronized to chuff rate as throttle is increased, which then operates steam unit ,so the faster the boat moves the more steam is generated. I have equipped her with full running lights and switchable cabin lights in orange LED's to imitate the glow of gas lamps. A large loud Foghorn ensures a clear passage through the water if needed, and to keep the 102 crew and passengers happy I have jazz music of the time playing once she leaves port. All this operates via a Planet T5 radio system
Have now the time to complete Mount Washington which is currently two thirds finished. will be fitting her with simulated steam sound synchronised to forward speed, along with music by the Big Banjo Band to add some authenticity to the vessel + lighting
