| S.S. MOONLIGHT, a single hatch coaster built at 1/2" scale. When the model was entered at the Model Engineers Exhibition in London, it gained a silver medal along with the H.V. Evans Trophy for the best research of a model ship in the show. Not bad for a 20 year old! |  Bow view showing winch detail. |

The design of this vessel was a modern
adaptation of the traditional Clyde Puffer Design. The
funnel of the ship was positioned behind the wheelhouse
with a coal bunker placed in front to allow easy access
for filling. This arrangement gave a clear view ahead. For further information on the construction of this model click here |
