Does anyone have a definitive list of the original crew for the large Nile Steamer? Basically, all the parts.

Thanks!

Are the two smaller boats From Trophy as well?

I don't know, but the figures are. This looks like an extra enhanced auction and not sure on the small boats.

The photo Smendy posted was from a Vectis auction and they all are supposed to be made by Trophy.

Hi Brad,

They could be one offs or mods, but I have never found any boats listed in the catalog other than:

A. Nile Steamer - Victoria
B. Confederate Gunboat
C. Union Gunboat
D. Crimean War Gunboat
E. Small Nile River Gun Boat - had various crew but Egyptian driver (Not one of the small boats pictured)
F. Arab Dhow

The small boats at that auction do not appear in any of the catalogs that I can find, but again, it could have been a custom order.

Tom, you’ll notice I said “supposed to be” ^&grin

That being said, the small boat looks likes Trophy to me, possibly adapted from the Confederate set.

Good Catch on the small one!! Yes, that was the supplies set. Either way and regardless, you are right, it was a great looking auction with loads of extras and at the time only 1300 pounds! Of course, by the time to usa, figure that cost near 3000 after premium and shipping!!

Hi Tom

The small boat is Trophy and is included in ACW set "Some local Provisions", I also have two hanging from davits on my HMS Lion. I believe the small sail boat could be from Dorset, but I can't swear to that

Believe me or not:
Len Taylor offered (through Lynn Kenwood of MKL) a Mississippi River Casino steamer to us & 2 others for 1500 Pounds Sterling each in 2001 or 2003. Thought that would be of interest. We missed the Victoria because we have a similar cool steamship. Have the HMS Lion & small Sudan gunboat though.
& 100+ cavalry
&300+ infantry.

So I Think a serious Trophy collector should have a ship! I really have neglected my Trophy collecting but it really is the best company ever.


Cheers & keep collecting from Treefrog & Trophy I say! Huzzah!

Hi Martyn: Have you seen a photo of the "Victoria" with a crewman operating a deck winch? Mine has two crewmen carrying fruit and one carrying luggage. Mine is a later model. Thanks. Tommy

Afraid not Tommy. I checked Damians albums and he has several pictures of the Victoria but the winch operator looks to be just out of shot. My Nile paddle steamer is a 'Special' that BTS produced and is manned by Egyptians from Dorset

All the best

Thanks Martyn. Mine is one of the last ones he made but without the winch operator and deck winch. Best regards. Tommy
