Welcome Jeff - paddle wheels! - there is not a great range available - Graupner make a 1:40 scale plastic
kit [but of feathering design] - search through GOOGLE for Graupner, but go to the PD photos folder

PS Reliant - Stuart Badger shows his method of brass & wheel construction
PS Pevensey - Dai Powell has posted some excellent fabrication shots of wooden construction
PS Decoy - thats mine - a basic copy of Stuarts version although non feathering

Now we do not advertise, but one of our members [Mike Mayhew UK] manufactures marine model
fittings and I am sure brass wheel sets are available - regards Derek in Australia

Wheel kits are available. 1:48 scale £120.00 exUK + postage. Mike

Hi Eddy kits are now £150 including bearings for hull. Web site being
updated soon. details in new catalogue. best wishes Mike. Ps kits are going
like hot cakes. can make other sizes

I'm afraid your prices are getting too steep for me Mike. £150 is a
LOT of money just for the paddlewheels, however nice they may be :-(

Regards
Eddy
