Good morning all,
seems I have this section to my self....
maybe it's paranoia coming on or maybe we're the only ones with tugs...they're coming to get me!!!
Seriously, has anyone any experiance with fastening a barge too a pusher tug so as the thing reacts as a whole. I've tried a few things so far and it realy is fun, so differant from tugging. I'm using a 1906 Damen hull too push with a bar similar to that on the real vessel 'Skansund', this is pushing a Variant barge with 12 pounds of ballast ( Tug and barge were purchased from MMM ). Ideas please, at least ideas that are worth a try. I've looked at pics of the real thing via Tugspotters web site which I heartly reccomend, but cannot think of a simple yet scale looking answer.
Thanks
