Well the fleet is going into layup for some time so I thought i'd take some pics of them before they do go.
Here's Victoria and Patricia, the two complete steamers.
Areadne, a nice big tanker with an electric motor.
Northlight, fitted with an electric motor but at some time will be converted to steam 
Talacre, a coastal steam tramp.

Instead of them being idle, you should send them all to Mo for safekeeping

Talacre gets my vote. I have always wanted a tramp steamer. I have the drawings for Vic Smeeds "SS Hobo" but I haven't had the time to make it.

They are really nice 
Can I ask, are the plans for Patricia readily available? I wouldn't mind having a go at making her one day  |

Wonderful stuff,
If you don't mind me asking - what material did you use for the curtains on your Victoria??

From a model shop and they're doll house accessories! The scales are very similar and i think i'm going to pick out a nice little tea set for it! |

That's a great idea - I've got a dolls house shop nearby. My Victoria-based boat actually came with a little teaset!

Well i saw the shop display and my mind went running away one me! I'd like to make some proper diorama for a couple of my mill plants, the kind of thing with a little coffee room at the side of the "main engine room" There's a place on ebay that sells scale model bricks in good sized quantities that would be perfect for it. |
