The figures weigh about a third of an ounce each. It does cause a bit of top-heaviness, but not too bad.
I had to add about 5.5 ounces of lead to the keel in the forward area to get her to sit on her marks, so this also helped stabilize the hull and offset the high cg. And the beam being almost one third her length, which helps in lateral stability. If she was any narrower, I would have to limit the number of folks on deck. The two PDF's are postcards that show the Nellie G. and how the passengers arranged themselves. Incredible how top heavy she could handle. I figured out how to import the pics, sans PDF... Joe |

Thanks, Klem...you may find a kit on ebay which will include the plans. $85 was the msrp and that is still a fair price today...I've seen them go higher and also lower...luck must come in and there is usually a very long time between kits showing up for sale, then two will show up...you know how ebay is...still, it's a very rare kit.
If you're going to build a bigger or smaller version, you'll still need the kit. Not all the 'parts' are on the plan sheets...for example, the bulkhead frame drawings are separate and come spray-adhered to balsa sheets for cutting out. A lot of the cabin parts are treated the same way. After cutting out the parts, the scrap wood and paper templates are tossed out, not realizing that the 'plan set' is now incomplete. I am guilty of this and had to draw my own frames from measurements taken from the completed kit hull. I had to build a slightly larger hull after placing some Prieser figures aboard the finished kit hull. They shrunk the already small ferry. I thought I could get away with it...think again... I have the kit hull and cabin done, just in raw wood, not sealed or painted yet...if any one is interested in saving some time and money, PM me...$50 and buyer pays shipping... Joe |

These are from the same designer as the Nellie G and she was listed in the same list.
At one time you could find them here; http://www.sidestreet.info/railways/gr.home.html Scroll down to the bottom and click on plans, this will take you to a page labeled " Plans from Garden Railways" and your thinking what the heck I want boats not trains, well scroll down to 29-A Rangeley: A Maine lake steamboat (hull, deck, fantail roof) Aug 97 29-B Rangeley: A Maine lake steamboat (deck house, pilot house, running gear, R/C system) Oct 97 Further down you will find 61-A 1:24-scale tugboat Arnold S. (frame and hull) Aug 03 61-B 1:24-scale tugboat Arnold S. (deck house and fittings) Oct 03 Sidestreet no longer has these and I have not found them anywhere. Gerald. |
