Rail and Tie Posted September 24, 2013 Author #31 Posted September 24, 2013 Thanks for the thanks folks! It was a very fun build and is turning out to be a very popular kit now too!! I am just finishing up the navigation lights and will post some pics once I get that completed. I plan to display it on the water and hope to power the paddlewheel with a geared motor and foam wheel under the base.

Rail and Tie Posted September 28, 2013 Author #32 Posted September 28, 2013 Great news. I was contacted by the Louie family when they found this thread and the thread over on mmrforums and are sending me a bunch of stories and photos of Cptn. Louie and the Sternwheeler!! I am very happy to have made contact with them and am going to meet them in a few weeks at a show in Chilliwack BC. Still trying to get this mode finished up along with work and life in the way!!!
