Well this weekend I’ve made some hatch covers for the ferry. While I’ve got some photos of the Detroit, and photos and a small plan of the Pere Marquette # 10 and 14, nothing is really clear on how many hatches there should be, what which hatch is used for and the construction of the hatches, so I’ve just guessed, though to my logic (??) the coal bunkers would have to be amidships so to minimalise any problems with the boats trim as the coal is consumed. I’ve also started playing with the funnels and their supporting structures.
BTW does anyone have any clever but easy way as how I scratch build some cowl ventilators?
Thanks for looking, Cheers, the Bear.
