Just a few pics of my latest builds

Staring with "Lord Lucan" Paddler, "Portsea" a passenger steamer and "BG Coulies" a French harbour Tug.

I have just started a new tug build based on a "Rotor Tug"
Used 3 Schottchel drives, 2 forward and 1 at the stern, the prototype RT Magic (pictured) has a bollard pull of30 tonnes and can pull at 6 knotts sideways ???

I will post picies as soon as I get the camera out.

Hi guys

I use Carrs weathering powders for Lord lucan, I had them left over from when I built an O Gauge Loco for a friend.

I have found a great deal of info, drawings etc on the Koreen web site, which is very helpfull.

My next purchase is going to have to be a 6 channel rc set but that wont be until SHMBO gets her garden done........

I will try and post Pictures of the build soon.

Cheers

Geoff
