My son is currenty on a paddle steam boat in Switzerland. He sent me pictures of the ship,s engine. Your model is as impressive as the real thing.

If you like to make a virtuel walk around our steamship "Hohentwiel" (Lake of Constance)
you may click:
Erleben Sie das Schiff auf einer Panoramatour vom Vorschiff, über das Ruderhaus, Salondeck, Hecksalon, Kapitänssalon sowie die Dampfmaschine, das Mittelschiff und den Vorschiffsalon.
There are many others on all lakes in Switzerland - to you know on which one your son is?
Greetings, Arnold
