These seem to be American - in Britain the canals tended to be narrow, and in any case canal transport was quickly replaced by rail in the 1800s.  If you can find some references and ideally pictures for British barges that fit what you would like, I may draw them when I get time.

Well, there is no real big rivers in real-life Britain, but we can have them in simutrans map => need for bigger barges.

About models: Something pretty generic. Just current steam/diesel model scaled to Seine Netter size will be enough.
