Hullo Ned.....certainly yes, many modern naval vessels have variations on CODAG, or DOGCO  {-).....

Our FFG's [Oliver Perry Class Frigate] used a GE LM2500 gas turbine coupled in through a very sophisticated gearbox assembly with an auxiliary input shaft fed by a high speed diesel engine [possibly a GM variant]...thankfully my role was on deck or in launcher or gun mount housings, not in grubby engine compartment spaces >>:-(

Newer to my time, I think our ANZAC class Frigates have the same but twin GE LM2500 + Wartsilla CODAG drives...this [CODAG] concept had little to do with attaining higher speed, as missiles can cover greater distances in immeasurably less time, so the design was more to do with versatility and ease of maintenance whilst underway at speed

But I think the example shown in the ABELL transmissions does not have any compensation for varying efficiencies or inefficiencies between motors, let alone the power loss created with the 1:1 belt drives ...

Having said this... they do look the part......Derek

Maybe the reason is he likes it like that, It's his model to build the way he likes  and it is very impressive. The whole model is impressive including the launch trolley.

First of all a big thank you from all the Kirklees Club members for a great weekend again. I have enclosed some pictures of models on the Kirklees stand. The club was very fortunate to collect various awards on Sunday

Appreciated :-))
Last year it did, then I found a I could have done it the way I did this year, Probably about 10 minutes, Time is taken in the checking of photos for to blurred or thumb over lense as These were all taken with my phone an does better close ups.
Probably missed some.  %%

I have a few more to put on as well as the vids, I think I might try to have split galleries as well for each Club.

What ship is this?

A friend took this photo at the event, but can't remember what ship it was, or who built it. He said it was in the main hall, just to the right of the desk where people paid. It's obviously huge, so I'm hoping someone in this forum recognizes it. Anyone?

Hi Rob
Yes it was in the room just off the main entrance area.  It was that big I struggled to get it all in the shot. Unfortunately I am not sure of the ships Name.

The machining and meticulous organization of the onboard equipment are superb!

It's a large (1/24th?) example of the type 42, batch 3 destroyer HMS Edinburgh currently only the hull and part of the running gear is completed. It should be at the Blackpool show next weekend which I appreciate is a bit far for you to travel to.

The builder is John Hamer.  If I remember rightly he is a member of Bury Metro Marine Modelling Society.
