one of those rods needs to be fixed solidly to the centre otherwise the wheel will turn around it until the paddles all face outwards....

....I did mine like this (but using styrene)

the Graupner ones are very similar

hello,
there is one of beam which is not mobile, now he is brasé.
Hinged wheels are very similar even though they are made of different materials
I looked a lot at your wheels when I built mine, it helped a lot me.
I made attempts in the water and it works very well, soon the continuation .

hello
The fireplace and the beginning of the upper deck.

you are just about finished with your model so this probably will not be useful and may be an earlier paddler but I thought I would add it just in case.

Very nice!!

Thank you for your encouragement

Small cruise on vapor Switzerland and visit of the room of the machine , One jewels


The boat Helvétie alongside the quay

Hi chewbacca
By watching this, she looks very slim. A beautiful ship, seems to go fast on the lake! Does she have solid wheels or excentered shovels?
Greetings
Gerhard

hi Gerhard
On everything vapor of the Lake Léman the wheels have off-centered shovels.The boat " La Suisse " navigates to 25 knots, wheels turn In 45 tours by minutes maximum . 2 photos of the wheels and one of wheel of my boat.
