I have attached 3 photos of my one fifth scale Paddle steamer Minimus taken at  Wentworth in Australia.      One photo show Minimus on the trailer being made ready for the long trip home.    Basic info. is 20 feet long, 10 feet over paddle boxes reducing to 8 feet for road transport.    5 HP. mill engine with vertical dry back fire tube boiler.    Fuel is wood or brown coal briquettes

Yes, I also think that Minimus is a terrific little boat, though I saw it at a Heritage Festival a little while ago.. and I loved.
It is really hard to believe that it is 20 feet long when you see it in person though!
The paddleboxes have been changed though!
It looks smaller here!
Here it is meant to look like a small Emmylou, I heard that at the Heritage Festival where this was taken.
