Clyde puffer Chain Steering
« on: March 06, 2025, 12:50:15 pm »
Does anybody have any information on how to replicate the chain driven steering on a Clyde puffer.
Also where i could get the pulleys for guiding the chain.

Have a look through the Puffer Builds on the Model Boats Magazine website, here:

There have been about three puffer builds recently and one specifically discussed the steering chains.

Look at post #66.  There is a very good picture of how to run the chain.

Small brass pulleys are available and you can easily make up  suitable housing.

Cornwall Model Boats sell a range of Mantua brass sheaves (pulleys) in different sizes.
