Hi,  I have just registered as a new member.   I am an active 74 year old, chairman of my local model boat club, and I and my son have beenbuilding model boats for about 20 years.   We have built all types of boats but never a paddlesteamer and I decided it was about time to have a go.   I was told that this is THE site to learn all about it, and here I am.   Pete (Oldie)
