Hi Hermione, I'm glad I could be of help and, above all, that you had the patience to read old threads with already-existing information (many don't have the patience to do so).
This doesn't mean you can't ask any questions at any time; it's always a pleasure to answer.
I realize it will be a long process, but it's best to do it well and slowly.
From what I see in the photo, this model is not only large but could be very valuable. In any case, you can add to it as you wish.
I've resumed modeling after years of inactivity.
Many jobs were interrupted and then resumed for long periods of time.

Hi Alessandro
I have looked through the links you supplied. Excellent thank you.
The motor work will need to wait a bit till we can establish the condition and “sea worthiness “ of the hull. We also need to do a bit of garage conversion to accommodate her! I am not sure winter in the garage is going to be fun! In the meantime we have made some progress on the decking. This is what was below the dirt on the paddle boxes. More when we have it

Hi Hermione, as I told you, I searched and collected some interesting discussions on this topic.
I'll provide the links at the end.
There are several issues to address: the right engine power (and therefore size), the correct gear ratio, the difficulty of maneuvering such models, etc.
These links have been discussed and may be of help. I hope so.
If you have any other questions, please ask; there are many experts in this forum.

Wow Hermione, that's certainly some paddle steamer. Hopefully you'll get her up and running in the not too distant future 👍

Hey Algon!!
That's exactly the motor I used! But at the time, I didn't think about such a transmission, as I already had certain parts available. I think I'll implement your idea with a conversion in the paddle steamer.
With the gears I have available, I have a little too much play.
As I always say, you never stop learning! 👍👍👍
Your Michel-C.

Here is an inexpensive transmission and a 12V brushed gear reduction motor I found that may help getting power to both paddles with one motor:

Wow what a great project. Regarding the motors, I would use standard motors or similar and run through reduction gear boxes. Cheers and look forward to the progress. Ian
