Good Gawd Nick and Steve, there used to be a time, not so long ago, when model 100 year-old Train Ferries were never seen on the water at lakes.
Now it's getting pretty commonplace and they appear to be breeding.
Your TF3 is looking great in it's natural element and must be a huge source of pride to you both. The inclusion of rigging etc is making her look quite businesslike and she looks proportionate to the "n"th degree.
T'other TF3 (dahn saarf) is nearly completed now. All materiels of war are now in situ on the car deck and we await the fitting of the ensign and crew members to make her complete and ready for the first (static) display in February 2017.
This display is at The Grange, Midhurst, West Sussex in February and she will be displayed among the Portsmouth Model Boat Display Team entries. i haven't got the date yet, but Robbie knows and he's just a 'phone call away.
During the course of the build we have collected a few images of WWI Train ferry models and reckon that two are fully representative of their originals. With permission I will post the images for you after clearing with suppliers.
Gold Medal to you guys therefore!!
All the very best for the New Year, and very well done.
Sandy and Robbie.
