Hello Carlos

Hi Carlos.

Model Boats featured plans for two paddle tugs some years ago.  (Chieftan and HMS Forceful)

Drawings for feathering paddle wheels were produced by George Baker and these plans are shown as available from My Hobby Store.

Hope this helps!

Hi Bob,

Thanks for your help.I have known about the Graupner Wheels but living in Australia we can not get any Graupner parts here.I will have to get them from England.

Hi Carlos,

Just to clarify my earlier post.

The drawings for the Chieftan paddle wheels are shown as MM1244 and for the Forceful paddle wheels as MM1293.

If I remember correctly George Baker produced the drawings for the Chieftan wheels back in the mid seventies and for the Forceful whees a few years later.  I can always dig out the original articles if it will help you!

Regards

Hi Grumpy,

I had a look on mystore website, i searched hi and low to find any information on plan number MM 1244 or MM 1293 so far no luck.If you can find any of those articles it would be a great help.

Thanks again Regards

Carlos

Hi Carlos,

I have now found the article on the Chieftan paddle wheels but cannot find the article on Forceful wheels.

The drawings in the article run across the centre of the magazine so I think it would be best to photocopy both pages onto an A3 sheet and mail them to you.  Send me an e-mail and we can sort out what to do next.
