Hi, Unfortunally I had to let go the Ally Pally exhibition but I had a look trough the steamboat register 7th edition and they list 5 steam launches with side or rear paddle drive. I also had a look at pictures taken by me at the Henley traditional boat rally and came up with a few more examples. if you are interested I can scan / mail the pictures.

The full scale steam boat folks were there as usual and I noticed some pictures on their stand of a very small side-paddle steam launch.....unfortunately I was a bit knackered and in a hurry anyway so didn't find out what it was and whether there is a design for it or indeed anything. Does anyone else recall the picture in question And know anything more about it? Thanks Chris Crosskey MODEL ENGINEERING DISCUSSION LIST.
