Model Puffers

Clyde Puffers make excellent models. Not too large but full of details. Whether you want a static model for a railway layout or something suitable for voyages on the local boating pond, here is something for everyone. Here is what I hope is a comprehensive list, but if you know of any other kits or plans, please get in touch.
