Anybody need any tyne class detail photos/ measurements?
« on: February 10, 2016, 09:20:21 pm »

In work (Holyhead Marine Services) I am currently involved with taking the old Detroit diesels out of the Douglas lifeboat RNLB sir William Hillary to replace with new ones as well as other repair jobs that need doing.

Anybody need any images whilst I have access to the boat? Thought I'd offer on here

Hi 110samecWhat a great offer, especially if anyone is building one, there is always that one piece of information missing from any research/build.
going slightly off piste, your caption re the P2000 HMS Express will certainly promote some reaction from some regular contributors to this forum as well as MMI magazine. Just to say that quite a number of discussions were raised several months ago on mayhem about this way of now describing the class as P2000,s instead of the original P20 name of these vessels.( P 20metre coastal training craft as opposed to P 2000 centimetre coastal training craft. It's like numbering the Severn class as 1700-09
Back to your original post, I am sure you will need to get your tape and camera out quite a few times with this offer.
Kind regards   17-09  :-))

As each and every one of these beautiful boats are slowly taken out of service due to the new Shannon Boat, and she becomes an Historical lifeboat class, I think that more and more people will want to build one as a keepsake for their own collection and what a superb offer you have made.

Keep the Tyne in memory both in photographs and models. I know from what friends have said to me, 47-038 is certainly going to be missed when the station gets their new Shannon and so the only way to keep these in view is to build, build, build.

Have semi-scratch built 47-029, now a Lobster boat in the Irish Sea.   Pete

Right in the absence of anyone needing photos i took some anyway (ignore the random tools and hobnobs)



































The deck bolt heads still to be painted. If any of you are rivet counters, theres 120 of the buggers, I know, I had to bolt them all back in once we re-fitted the hatches















If anyone wants to model a current Douglas lifeboat, she now carries a red hull bottom as it got anti-fouled in the yard but still has a white boot topping
