Hi Ronnie42

For me there is only one place to go for new props and that is the Prop Shop,

Hi Fred Thanks for the info, phoned them up and ordered a pair of props.  Was not quite sure what to order, said if it's wrong no problem returning for the another pair. E Bay sorted out a replacement prop? As it looked the correct shape and side(RHS). If it's wrong will use as one of spare props cast in white metal, or have it on the cargo deck as a feature. Thanks again Fred.

Prop Shop props are the best and not too expensive but delivery times can be extended sometimes.

If you want a quicker delivery then Raboesch from Cornwall Model Boats and other suppliers are a good practical alternative. When the boat is afloat you can't see them anyway and for scale models they work perfectly adequately.
