STEAMBOAT MODELS, LIVE STEAM ENGINES AND PADDLE WHEELS...
Bringing back to life, gauge 1 - 1/32scale, from scratch, live steam engine included, some of the finest ships: the side wheelers of the 1840-1910 era!
Many hours go into building my metal paddle steamer models as accurately as I possibly can... so I will try to sail them the smooth, quite and graceful way steam ships did! No unrealistic "speedboat" style sailing with overly repeated whistle blows on choppy waters!

Hudson River Walking Beam Steamboat "NORTH AMERICA". #2 Steam engine / Brass Cylinder & Piston Rings
Gauge one - 1/32 scale - Scratch built live steam side wheel model ship.
Part #2 :
Machining the Steam Engine Cylinder, and the way I make piston rings for brass cylinders.
Assembling the Cylinder, valve chests and wipers and testing it with compressed air.
The engine will be functional and remote controlled, it will have to be adapted accordingly, as was already the case with my first walking beam model, powering the steamboat "Thomas Powell".
"North America", Unlike "Thomas Powell" had an early type of engine with a single set of wipers. Other major differences was the "split bucket" paddle wheels, and, most noticeable, the double ended hull, often seen on the Hudson River at that time.
After finishing the engine, I will carry on with the paddle wheels, and only then will I start making the hull....quite some work ahead!
The Walking Beam name came from Indians living along the rivers; they coined a name for the paddle wheelers which In English meant "mill that walks on the water"!
They were not the Mississippi style steamships, but were the usual steamer design on the Hudson river, a design for VERY fast paddle wheelers!..
The Hudson river side-wheeler "North America" was built by Devine & Burtis at Brooklyn in 1839 ! Length of the wooden hull: 230 feet.
The walking beam engine was built by James Cunningham at New York, having a 48 inch cylinder with 11 ft stroke!
The weight of this giant walking beam engine required the shallow wooden hull to be stiffened by immense hog frames and stays, which also took care of the weight from the boilers on the guards.
She was a considerably finer boat than all those previously built!
She also was the first steamer with independent steam engines and boilers to operate the blowers for the furnaces.
She burned anthracite coal.
Please note : This will be a "one-off" , parts or plans for this paddle wheeler and it's engine are not for sale!
Thanks for watching!

Thank you for your kind comment, I'm glad you liked it! 🙏 😀
0:29 well now i wish to have such a small toy of a paddle wheeler. they are one of my favorite types of ship
Nothing compares to Paddle steamers! Your wish may be on Ebay under "tin paddle wheel boat" 😄👍
Beautiful job on this boat. I've seen a lot of Steamboats out on Spreckels Lake in San Francisco but nothing that quite measures up to this. If you do another video on it, let's see some more of the mechanics at work. And maybe a description of the engine and a close-up of the mechanism operating the paddles. Great job
Thank you! I came many years ago (1994) to see Ferry "Eureka"...but not a single model sailing on Spreckels Lake... Every video I make has a short description. You can see it's engine here: ua-cam.com/video/AdmrYsE3U6o/v-deo.html Thanks for watching!
Very impressive
Thank you, glad you liked it!🙏
i coulnt tell if it was a full sized one or a model in the tumbnail good job!
I'm glad you appreciated it! A full size one would be amazing! ...but unfortunately would by far NOT conform to today's regulations... The very last "boilers on the guards" steamboats went extinct 100 years ago! Thank you for your comment!
Lovely craftsmanship. I make railway models from tinplate so can appreciate the skills involved. Lovely!
The work involved in building steam trains models is also quite impressive! Thank you for your compliment!🙏
That is one beautiful and seriously impressive bit of work.
I appreciate your comment, thank you! 👍🙏
Stunningly beautiful! What is the scale of this model and where could you buy those beautiful miniature figures?
Thank you, I'm glad you liked it! Not sure you can buy those anymore... I made this video, it has a written description with some info : Thomas Powell's "Preiser passengers" ua-cam.com/video/0pCfzC6Juw8/v-deo.html
@@LiveSteamPaddleWheelersPG Thank you. I now realized that I have one box, unpainted of those vintage figures, original from Preiser. I hope someday those passengers get to be on board to one of my model boat!:)
Is the oscillating cylinder to help start the engine/prevent it from getting stuck on dead centers?
You're exactly right! Thanks for watching!
Wonderful!!!
Thank you! 🙏
A beautiful piece of work.. awesome boat, and your engine seems to run very well too.

Travail absolument fantastique , et résultat merveilleux , je suis réellement admiratif !
J'ai tenté de faire de la coque "nue" un "petit bateau intéressant" et suis donc content que le résultat plaise à certains! Merci pour le commentaire bien apprécié! 🙏
That paddle wheel is a true work of art. !
Such large wheels are in fact not that difficult to make....but it does take time! Thank you for your kind comment!
WOW....come sul battello "Concordia" sul lago di Como -Italia-🤩
Exactly !👍 And also "come sorella" "Patria"! 😍 "Morgan" type eccentric was so good, it was mounted on nearly every side wheeler after 1870! Thanks for watching!
As a model railroader I have to admit. This is BY FAR a cooler hobby, gosh darn excellent
Locomotives are cool too! 👍 But I'm glad you appreciated what I think is the best hobby ever ! Thank you! 🙏

@@LiveSteamPaddleWheelersPG I worked on tugboats all my working life. I'm thinking of building a classic wood tug model with a steam engine.
That's a carrer! And you will have fun building a live steam model, guaranteed!
Astonishing🥰
Thank you!
It's interesting that reverse was achieved by manual valve actuation, I wonder why they didn't use a reversing gear system, even if something like the Stephenson's sliding link wasn't viable due to the vertical position of the valve, a single eccentric reversing gear like a simple slip eccentric or Wolfe valve gear doesn't seem like it'd be a problem to do. I guess they didn't use reverse enough to warrant putting some extra engineering into it? I dunno, I certainly would've thought it'd be useful on a river boat.
I'm sure they did, at some point, try out different reversing gear systems during the 100+ years these engines where running! The starting bar operation was simple and efficient: once throttled off, and hooks lifted up, the engineer could swiftly and precisely swing the bar up or down, opening or closing the valves. This reactivity reduced the dangerous risk of locking up on dead center with the boat moving towards the pier. I don't think it was that much work: just one or two counter revolutions of the paddle wheels were necessary at the landings. Steamboats designed to "sail" astern had two sets of eccentrics and hooks (e.g. Ferry Eureka - San Francisco). Thank you for your interest, and thanks for watching!
@@LiveSteamPaddleWheelersPG Fair that to arrest the vessel as it slowly approaches the docks would likely only take a couple of cycles with the lever, but I imagine it'd be quite a bit more harrowing to need to perform an emergency stop from speed. Good point on the ability to avoid, or at least reduce the chance of, landing on a dead center with a single cylinder engine, though.
What a beautiful Artwork! And so realistic including the small view possibility seeing the steam engine work while departing. Congrats 👍👏
Glad you liked it! Thank you for your kind comment! 🙏👍
Wow!! UUUUhhhhhhhh....... the genius at work here! I'm stunned.
Those who built these amazing steamboat "flyers" 175 years ago were the geniuses! Thank you for the comment! 👍
Fantastic! The Craftsmanship!
Thank you, I'm glad you liked it! 🙏
It's amazing the amount of details you make so intricately with a material such as metal that one might think is harder to work with than wood. How long have you been working with metal?
Weight is the main problem when building a functional side wheeler model made of metal! Since many centuries, almost anything could be done with metal! A 16th century pocket watch is a good example! "Unterwalden" was the first metal boat I started building in 1989!
What is the song at the beginning called?
That's a Hudson River steamboat song! (I love it!) It's name is "Francis Skiddy Polka", and was composed for the Captain of that boat, which appeared on the river in 1852! I'm currently "scratch building" a much earlier model, the steamboat "North America", as she first appeared on the Hudson River, back in 1839... nevertheless, I picked the song again for "part one"!
As an artist-builder who specialize in steamboats; especially the Hudson River and New England ones, I raise my glass to you on this fine build. Well deserved, sir.
I'm honoured by your comment, Rex, Thank you! 🙏 And I raise my glass to you: the hand-carved paddle steamers you build are awesome!
Это просто невероятно! Автор, браво!

Bravooooooooooooooo
Master piece!!
Thank you !!
nice
There are 2 axes right? One for the drive shaft and one for the arms that make the articulating movement. So in a real boat, you will need reach up all the way around the paddle wheel to mount that arm axis on the boat?
Yes, you're right. They have to be offset! Eccentric arms could also be located between the hull and wheel: an offset slew ring would then be used, the big wheel shaft going right through it. My "Setting a Glasgow feathering wheel" video shows a metal model wheel just like that, with the conventional Glasgow wheel next to it!
Ohhh 😮 I see it now! I didn't know about that solution. Thanks.

This is the best authentic steamship paddle wheeler I've ever see! Beautiful craftsmanship!
I'm glad you liked it! Thank you for your kind comment!
Can you show the reversing linkage?
That's gonna be difficult! As you know, to reverse these giant engines, the engineer had to lift off the eccentric rod hooks from the rock shafts, and then manually open/close the valves accordingly for every single revolution! For this kind of engine to reverse reliably at such a small size in a RC model boat, I adapted different things (reviewed in video description), and a simple steam-reversing valve was one of them! No "hidden linkage"! Thank you for watching, and for your interesting steam videos!
@@LiveSteamPaddleWheelersPG I must have missed what you mentioned in the description, let me give it another read!
That is an awe inspiring piece of work. My hat is off to you.
I'm honoured by your comment, Thank you!🙏
Make it sink
Why would someone dump years of hard work like that
This reminds me about port phillip bay steamboats in Victoria Australia
Yes. But most of the Victoria steamers were two funneled ships. Years ago, I was considering building a model of the "Ozone", but I finally took the "easy" way, and built my second live steam "Winkelried" instead!..👍
