Building an O Scale River Steamer: The Canyon Queen

Welcome aboard the Canyon Queen! She's a 50' paddlewheel river steamer like those that once plied the mighty western rivers of America. Starting with a fine kit from Kitwood Hill Models in the UK, I build a on-of-a-kind Victorian era sternwheeler with tons of Disney flavor. Step by step descriptions of the process from rigging to LED lighting.

Thanks for watching, amigos!
