Ok, interesting boat. I now have 3. First two were similar but from what I understand, this was the only boat you could buy "naked" so to speak. You could buy the boat, then choose from various crew additions. My one boat is loaded up, my other one is more sparse, these were the first two and most parts on the first 2 are wood. Fast forward to my latest one. It has a full crew, however , it has more metal in the gangways and paddle wheel. My assumption is that is was a later one. Interesting difference but I noticed it right away. Customizations include Full Egyptian Service Crew, British Captain, Indian Army Pensioner, Reporter, Strolling Lady, Seated Lady as well as a choice of 4 Different Regiments. Also there were other various Regimental crewman too that could be added. I really actually like the fact you could put on whatever you chose versus the later boats that all came with an exact crew.

Anyhoo, neat item(s).

Would it be possible t post some photos
I am sure they would be highly appreciated.
I seem to remember being offered a choice of regiments back in 2003.
The crew sounds similar.

Hi Damian
Two I will do shortly, the third (large one with all possible crew - 4 seated regiments) is currently in dry dock!

That would be very appreciated and I am sure not just by me.
Thank you
