Sorry,its a static model. I'm hopin the county museum here will pick it up. A hundred years ago these boats were the main form of transportation in these parts.

It looks really nice. Is it scratch built? Would like to see pictures from the stern section. Did you do the interior also? I love scale model riverboats.
