Hi from the Isle of Wight,


I have aquired a Graham TVR1ABB and what looks like a Cheddar/Stuart 3500 boiler (not a full steam plant I know ..) and am undecided on a suitable boat.
While river cruisers seem very popular, I am thinking more on the lines of a Tid Tug. I have modeled most vehicles types in the past but have recently turned to live steam locomotives in various gauges/scales and fuel types, coal, gas and spirit.
The Isle of Wight Model Engineers Society have a small boating pond, so when the Engine and Boiler became available, why not, I thought ...



I would like suggestions for Kits, hulls or plans for a Tug or boat with more of a superstructure than a river boat. Not that I have anything against this type of boat, in fact I can see the attraction of having the steam plant on display and scale captain and passenger(s), so guidance would be greatly appreciated ..


Thanks .. Andy

Perhaps I should have posted in the 'Steam' section. Can I move this or does that have to done by the Mods?

Thanks .. Andy
