More Building Steps

Previous pages show the construction of the hull and the first deck. This page depicts the next important steps of the rebuilding of the Krakus. Here are the sheets for the parts. (Click to see full size.)

Before the Second Deck was added, some first deck construction had to occur:

§ The Engine (50) was assembled and installed amidships.

§ The Forward Cabin (48) was assembled and installed in front of the Engine.

§ The Paddlewheels and Paddlewheel Axle were assembled and installed.

In addition, some work on the Second deck had to occur:

§ The Second Deck (50) was assembled from its three layers.

§ The Midships Stairs (88, 89) had to be assembled and glued to the underside of the second deck.

§ The portside Paddlewheel House (61P) and the Aft Cabin (56) had to be added to the underside of the second deck (but not the starboard-side Paddlewheel House).

At this point, the second deck could be installed. The remaining crucial steps were:

§ Added the Funnel (73) and Ventilators (71).

§ Now that the Funnel and Ventilators were seated properly below the second deck, the starboard-side Paddlewheel House (61S) could be installed.

The order of building and installing the remaining parts was not crucial.
