Hi, first if this is not the place please feel free to move it somewhere more appropriate.
During the lockdown I am unable to access the clubroom and therefore the layout or most of my tools, so I have been casting around for something and as a result, I thought the layout will need a boat(s) and as I couldn't find anything, I purchased a couple of boat books. In the first book Steam Coasters and Short Sea Traders by Charles V. Waine, I found a contender or two, but I am uncertain whether or not I have the space and so I turned to the 2nd book British Steam Tugs P. N. Thomas and found a nice little tug called Bayswater, built for the Admiralty in 1915 and designed for shallow creeks and canals after the war the PLA bought several of them . I found a few pictures on the web of a couple of sister tugs.
Both photos are from here :- www.thamestugs.co.uk
I am in the process of doing some prelimanary drawings on QCAD.
