The Shelburne museum has the the SS Ticonderoga. She use to run Lake Champlain during the summer. I saw her about 25 years ago. Has a true walking beam engine.

Hope things are alright. I have been following your blog, hoping it would motivate me to get me to finish my Mt W. The wheel box was excellent and I may do something similar on mine.

I found the best source for styrene supplies and brass is HobbyLobby. I also bought my paint pens there.
Instead of painting the wood below the paddle wheel boxes, I used styrene sheets and on other areas wood areas instead.

It has been a long time ago but I first made all the white crosses on the clear sheets. Then I cut it out each pane individually, gluing each pane to the back of the plastic facade with E6000 glue.
The painted frames look real good. ๐

Once you stain the existing deck, it looks good.
I used a white, thin line paint pen to make the window panes before installing them. Also cut out the wood behind the windows, to give them depth.
I wish I had time to finish mine.
You are making good progress, look great.
