Cheers Max, It certainly runs well but probably needs to be too fast for a paddler unless geared right down. I think I'm going to have to think bigger and slower for this.

Check out this current thread on the Mamod forum. Its a build for a purpose made paddle wheel engine.

That's exactly the sort of thing I was thinking about!
All I need to do now is find one off the shelf!!!!

Tony Green Steam Models sell Mamod cylinder assemblies, you may be able to extend the connecting rods to make up your own paddle engine....http://www.tonygreensteammodels.co.uk/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=101&sort=20a&page=4

Thanks Nick, but it's the length of the cylinders that's the one thing that tells the full story. Long stroke, lots of torque and low revs are the targets.
