Hi Larry.
Just a suggestion. Have a look (or join up) on the Paddleducks site. They have everything on paddlers you could imagine. I'm sure you will be able to get info on the drawings you are looking for.

Hope this helps.

Hi There, Model Boats mag did a free plan of an African river steamed many years ago called Lulonga which may be available from their plans service. heres a couple of photos to whet your appetite, and a link to Hull MBC with more.
Happy hunting,
Nick.

HI NICK ,
thank you for reply, just had look at your model on your club site which i am a out side member,
being adopted hull native in the late 50tys as was with the army as TA instructor at Beverley Rd,
so some happy times then , i think the ferry to GRIMSBY was a paddle job ?
cheers LARRY...

Hello mate, I am not from Hull, I remembered having the plan sometime in the late 80's and had a quick look on the net to see if I could find some pictures for you. I live on the Wirral and have done for most of my life.
Regards,
Nick. :-)) :-)) :-))

To LarryW:
I have the plan for "Lulonga" (as posted by pettyofficernick) and will probably never use it to build a model - if you want it, you can have it!
I think Lulonga was a "quarter wheeler" with independently controllable wheels to improve steering - could be an interesting challenge to build.
-
HI EDWARD ,
THANK YOU THAT WOULD BE NICE OF YOU.
i will cover any costs ...... Larry...
-
HI EDWARD,
started LULGONGA, GOING WELL nice build .

Looks like you're making great progress! I really like the scratchbuilt paddle wheels and the woodwork on the wheelhouse/cabin. Is the hull scratchbuilt, or a commercial moulding?
Have you managed to obtain a copy of the Model Boats article on Lulonga yet? If not, I'll send you a scan of my copy.
-
THANK YOU EDWARD,
Yes it is a commercial purchased at a boat jumble .
still havent got a copy of mag article , only a copy of a domn load.
some latest pics to look at.......LARRY...

Coming along nicely, paddle wheels are a bit dodgy to make, much care is needed. Where did you get the 'two hole' split pins from? the ones you have used as stanchions on the bridge.They deffo look the part, most usefull. :-)) :-)) :-))
-
Good morning,
thank you interest, and comments , stanchions are supplied by James LANE ( DISPLAY MODELS ) one of best model firms i ever dealt with .
good product and service , and politeness a very nice man to do business with. good old fashion service :-)) :-)) :-)) :-)) :-)) :-)) :-))..........Larry..

Hi all ,
Final deck bits done , punt winches , anchors , and a helmsman , modified pound shop crew , and little bit of weathering .
will get a better pic when the weather gets better , so i will put this model on shelf , to wait for engine fit and drive chain.....
SO its back to trawler slip.........LARRY....
