Canal boats from the 1800 in the UK?

Many just looked like barges with canopies like the one on the blog cover. Some were pulled by horses. For our design we wanted something that looked more industrial and a little bespoke. We came across some blueprints that inspired us, that had a steam engine, connected to a paddle wheel in the centre of the narrow canal boat. That is the Charlotte Dundas https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charlotte_Dundas.  From those ideas we created this canal boat. Its loaded with Beer Barrels, Iron, and Coal. Hope you like it. We think it will go well for Brass Birmingham.

To fit Brass Birmingham this is printed the same size as our train. Only 14mm wide and 30mm long, the size of a thumbnail.

Here are some prototypes we are experimenting with paint for the yellow player.

Note: 3D tokens, upgraded items and organisers are in no way affiliated or endorsed by the producers of the board games we are designing organisers and components for. Artwork is completely original and designed in our own imagination and style from scratch. Our coming soon blog is sometimes used as a thoughts process in our design work and are experimental or conceptual for the board games we own. They may not become available for sale and are purely conceptual. As with all art work and creativity process, some things work out, some we trash, some we shelve, or only use for ourselves. Before we decide to make a product available we carefully assess if they are suitable to sell, that they pass certain criteria, including but not limited to play testing, durability testing, printing feasibility, effort, and any other costs associated to sell or produce and share. We are a very small business so we do not have the means sometimes to make these available, but our enjoyment comes in this hobby from others enjoying the creations we have made. If you like our creations we would love to hear from you.
