Comment:
"The model shows #547s Onagh which had a fin keel. #574s Arethusa was built from the same model but was fitted with a conventional keel using the keel pattern for #548s Radiant (but moved one frame space forward). Note, that in July 1902 additional lead was fitted forward to Onagh's keel while Radiant's keel was replaced by one using the pattern for #461s Cock Robin which also resulted in more lead forward."
