Some time ago I was looking for plans for a paddle launch so I could build a model with a fully visible steam engine.... At that time nothing came to light, but just a few days ago Walter Snowdon stumbled across something, and I thought others may be interested....

Thanks for sorting this one out for me eddy! For those who have a look at this launch, dig deep into the site as there are a LOT of very good plans, alas not of paddlers, but covering service launches, cargo launches etc etc. Well worth a browse. Regards, walter.
