Ran the tug and barge yesterday up at the Elk Grove Regional park with the Sacramento Model Shipwrights. Worked out well with no navigational troubles. Plenty of rudder authority.

The train scale is 1/24th. I used an inexpensive battery operated New Bright train set. The barge is a large block of Styrofoam with a rubberized coating of Flexseal. Deck is plywood. Length is around 67 inches (170cm)
The railroad tug I built up as you see it now from a model I picked up thru a classified ad but it's origins are unknown.(see pic) Hull is a plastic coated expanded foam material

I love the idea of combing 2 of my hobbies trains and boats, great. Is there any similar set up in the UK, anyone?
I am just restoring a Bustler tug about OO gauge and the thought of moving a train on a barge looks really interesting. regards Roy ▲

📝 Identification Help needed British Warship

Over 20 years ago I was given this F/G hull and the plan but in several moves the plans were lost.
Can any one identify from shape of hull what class she is. The photo I had showed a large canvas cover suspended over the stern deck as if she was in warmer climate.
Many thanks

You have all been very helpful and think I have narrowed it down to Castle Class. Looking at Caister Castle K690, Denbigh K 696 and Flint Castle k383. Hull looks very close.
The model is 66 inch stem to transom and 10 inch on the beam. Now just need to find some detail on deck and superstructure. Thank you all for your help AustinG ▲

Hi AustinG
I have a Metcalf hull at 1:48 ( If I remember correctly) for the Castle class up in the attic and, from memory, it certainly looks similar. The 2019 Model Boat Convention had HMS Flint a Castle Class on display and I took some pics which may be of interest. dave976

Oops! I sit corrected🤔😔
Further research revealed that the Swans had two shafts, Castles only one. Also the rake of the bow was troubling me. So I switch my vote to a Castle. Pics show HMS Denbigh Castle and HMS Caistor Castle K690. Yours tritely, Doug😎

Morning Austin.
I can’t say for sure but it looks a little bit like the hull of a RN Black Swan or Castle class sloop from WW2. I am probably completely wrong though. What confuses me is the stern as to if it is single or double shaft. The picture shown of is a Fleetscale hull. Regards Bill.

hi there, this looks definitely like a Castle Class hull - John Lambert did some drawings for them and also Norman Ough - you may be able to purchase the drawings from Ebay/or someone may have them to borrow.
I am in the process of building one a plank on frame - its one of my many projects on the go. John

It could be a container ship or a deep-sea tug because it's very flat at the stern.

I'm pleased to see you have painted the inside of the boat, as well as the exterior.
Knowing how water will get into the insides of every boat, no matter what, it vexes me to see so many boats with unpainted interiors. Perhaps I'm moving in the wrong circles ? 😉 ▲

A very sophisticated and complex-looking piece of kit and I guess pretty damn expensive. Mind, there is nothing quite like the real thing, and it makes steam engines look quite cheap in comparison. I very much admire your piloting skills very impressive flying display and a pretty good cameraman into the bargain. Great stuff and have you ever thought about a twinhulled Budwiser type speed boat using a turbine as a power source? Regards, Gary.

Built by Buxton Model Boat Club member Adrian , he says :- "essentially the paddle boat is scratch built but uses some fittings and materials from a Disar "Vanguard" kit ".
Adrian used drawings of "Flying Scotsman" for inspiration, but is not a faithful reproduction, although "Old Trafford" is also quite similar .
This was the maiden voyage so plenty more work to be done on detail and ballast etc.as the boat still sits a bit low in the water.
For reference see :-

📝 Fairey "Maybe" on the water

Just taken dads old boat out and it handles well. I might add some short chines to the aft section just to stop it skidding out so much on turns and it is a bit over powered. Only running on 4 S in the video, 6 S next 😂. Not sure if the YouTube link works.

📝 INGA IV - Luxury Ketch

Believed to be from Revell Models , " INGA IV " is a model Ketch , owned and sailed here by Martin Ward of the Hayling Island Model Boat Club.
RCSailing is just for fun, no gain. Other than sharing photos and videos relating to Buxton Model Boat Club activities, from time to time its nice to "showcase" models from other clubs and members as seen here with the link between BMBC & HIMBC - all sharing the common interest in model boats and the "Model Boat Website".

I really love this motor sailor and wish it for my next project, the finish shown on this excellent video looks amazing.
Please where can I acquire a set of build plans for hull and topsides, preferably around 40 inch LOA. Your help would be gratefully appreciated regards ChrisG ▲

Looks really good and well detailed and looks like she sails well. Are you using more than one winch? Would like to see a detailed photo 😁

It's a real shame that this kit is no longer available! I think if it had I would have chosen this kit instead of Mantua Bruma. 👍😊

Imaginary friend….. when you know you’re going to go somewhere where line ups will be, take them with you….. talk with them often…. You want to get to the front quickly, take a beach ball with you too
Without a doubt, best thing going…. No one knows how to deal with you and they just want you GONE In and out fast ▲

Callie Graphics is a great outfit.
They will provide vinyl graphics of any kind to meet you needs. Their products are far better than anything you can do with decal paper and a computer printer or stick on letters. They are sensitive to the needs of model builders. Prices are very reasonable and service is prompt. I have used them many times. Hint: when purchasing graphics from them I buy spares in case things go wrong while applying them of they are damaged in the future.
