I forgot to include a little explanation of my choice of size for the pontoon models.
I ended with card models 10cm long. These looked ok on the waggons and two filled my 'rivers' nicely.
To further justify this choice I should also show this photo also.

| No paddle, nor a creek, luckily. |
I made a model in the same scale as the figures - 40mm, or about 1/36.
Then made a model at the ground scale of 1mm to the metre/pace/yard.
The 'true scale model was obviously to tiny and the figure-scale boat would be ok for a diorama but a bridge or waggon train using them would have blotted out my wargame table.
Hence the 'practical' choice of a 10cm pontoon. Big enough to look realistic, small enough to be used on the table.
The waggon started with a pair of horses but also got 'rationalised' down to a single one.
