I'm looking for any designs for a double acting twin cylinder
oscillating steam engine suitable for driving a model
river boat (side wheeler as was commonly used on the
River Murray in Australia).

> River Murray in Australia).

Don't know if it is still available, but try to find a copy of:

"Model Stationary and Marine Steam Engines", by K. N. Harris; published
1958 (revised in 1964 & 1969) by Models and Allied Publishers, England
(they also publish Model Engineer).  THis includes plans for several
oscillating engines, including a 2-cylinder paddle-wheel engine (and
feathering paddle wheels too).  Good luck.
