Hi just a quick introduction hopefully going to make it to Wicksteed on the Saturday with my 2 old model boats that were originally scratch built by my grandfather and father ( both formally employed at Chatham dockyard) and I have recently got them back into working order. The TID tug has been converted back to electric with a home made smoke unit but used to have its own boiler and engine which I hope to make a running bench display at some point.


It will be my first Mayhem can I just turn up boats and all ?

Mayhem at Wicksteed is open house. You can just turn up at any time. You may like to read the FAQs on the mayhem thread.

Bring the steam engine, SteamBoat Phil will take a gander for you. Look for the scruffy Fraggle with a black hat@
