    I am searching for data to complete a fully detailed water line model of the Falls of Clyde in 96th scale.  I have evidence that she was originally (1878) fitted with a steam assisted Windless under the fo'c's'le, which from my inspection is still in place on the ship.  However it begs the question of where was the steam boiler to run the engine.  There is no evidence that there was originally a donkey engine and boiler in the midship house, it is also a long way to run a seam pipe, even a lagged one.  Any suggestion, with photos and/or original plans of a boiler fitted under or close to the fo'c's'le on a windjammer of the 1880s would be gratefully appreciated.

About the NRG

If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.

The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.

The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
