Magnificent work of art. When you are done with it, it should be preserved in a good museum.

Who knows, maybe one day... I'm glad you appreciate the work, thank you!

What is her maximum speed in knots

[@LiveSteamPaddleWheelersPG]

Speed of paddle steamer "Winkelried" was 15.4 knots. Compare this with speed of older 1861 Hudson River paddle steamer "Mary Powell" : over 21 knots! At scale, regrettably, models usually sail faster than they should...

[@thomashillenbrand5545]

Beautiful model! But one question: Was the draught extendet or not?

[@LiveSteamPaddleWheelersPG]

Thanks! Yes, Exactly! The "to scale" weight should be around 10 kg - 22lb…. …but this is a metal model: it's twice that weight! …it does make the model sail more realistically!

[@jandoerlidoe3412]

oscillating steam engine ?

[@LiveSteamPaddleWheelersPG]

Yes, the ship had the same Escher Wyss oscillating engine as the one you can see in the oldest operating paddle steamer in the World, the "Tudor Vladimirescu". I designed steam admission on this engine with piston valves, and my second black hull Winkelried with slide valves.

Make it sink

[@scurly0792]

Why would someone dump years of hard work like that
