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

Wow, it makes my paddle steamer project look small.
You will need a gear reduction on an electric motor. I have an MFA 540 size with a gearbox that I intend to use. They can be bought with some serious reduction that gives a huge torque increase. Creative coupling could see the pistons working in real time. Good luck

Thanks Algon! Good shout. I'll have a nosey.
Yes she is flat bottomed. We are unclear on where she came from. There was a theory that the hull was a ship builders test piece.
I dont have the exact weight yet ... but it is a two man lift. Say 30 - 40 kg.

Maybe the drive system from a larger RC tank? Having independent control of each paddle could help in steering such a large model.
It looks like the hull is flat on the bottom. Was it originally a display model? How much does she weigh? Something of note, flat bottom hulls are notoriously difficult to steer. I recall the Dumas Creole Queen had a triple rudder arrangement, it has a completely flat bottom.

Hey Mike, Thanks for your encouragement! (love the photo of your paddler!). You are correct .... the car will end up in the street! We needed to bring the hull here in a van! Maybe get hold of a canoe rack for the top of the Land Rover. Will keep you posted.
