Parker's Guide sees me heading out to sea with a Clyde Puffer. You might wonder why we are building a boat in a model railway magazine, but only if you've never seen my layout Melbridge Dock. A pair of puffers adorn the layout and it's a very practical and popular ship for railway modellers.
Being only 60ft long in real life, they are small enough for your average layout. The real things are surprisingly large.

Question
Did you use real or fake coal for this scene and where did you get it?
Real Welsh Steam coal. Bougth in a big bag at a model engineering show. A lifetimes supply for a tenner!
