There was a similar one for sale on ebay a week or so ago, didn't sell so might be still available? Click on the link below and scroll to the bottom of the page, Dave.  :-))

I'm going to build one these great little tug.
Any more advice on the drive assembly would be good?.
Looks like the only suitable one I kind find is the Graupner Schottel Drive Unit I (1761) Drive Set. (A bit expensive :o)
Have the model plans purchased from 'trapletshop' but looks like the graupner unit would be probably be a to big to suit the 1ft tug on the plan.
Any help would be great :-))

Hi Roker

I would be interested in that build - pm me when you start please so I don't miss it.
I had never considered these tugs before.

An ice cream tub would make a nice hull for one of these - might try one when I've finished the schooner!

I expect Krishna could come up with a plan of how to make the drive mechanism, Whats happened to him ?, he has not been on since the crash.
