ATSF railroad tug and barge
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.

    Very nice. What scale are the trains?
  • algonChief Petty Officer 1st Class
    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

    "Any Details on the Turbine?
    Trev"

    Trev.. This is an elderly Wren 54 configured as a 2 stage drive (ie. the turbine is a gas generator which drives a turbine driven gearbox). You can see the setup in the Video of the mechanics running.

Gumboot Clogaroo
Had a chance to run my Midwest model of a lobster Boat at Spencer's in Burlington It's the 150 anniversary of the town of Burlington Ontario . The forest fire smoke wasn't to bad the day I ran the boat . I named model off of a Canadian Singer Stompin' Tom Connors - Wikipedia songs about a lobster boat The Gumboot Clogaroo .

RC Tyne Paddle Tug
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 :- http://tynetugs.co.uk/

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".

    So ah, is this thing mobile ? Towable ? Open the door and window, drag it down the road and all that pesky sawdust and debris would be GONE !

    Actually, you’ve done a great job on it…. Now a mini bar fridge and music is all that’s left..

"Mississippi Steamboats" ?
Perhaps not a true description with both boats being battery powered ! however - just for fun I thought it would be nice to showcase together, similar boats sailed at my own local model boat club and some of those sailed at the Hayling club - a sort of "Model Club Twinning".

Return visit to - Hayling Island Model Boat Club
On a visit to Hayling Island last year, I met and sailed members of the Hayling Island Model Boat Club at their local venue at Mill Rythe.
May this year provided me the opportunity for a return visit.
Many thanks again to all members for the hospitality shown.
Special thanks to Greg, Rob and Mike (the Swan Whisperer) !.

    The engines sound like the 9 th symphony of Beethovén. You love it or you hâte it
  • dave976Captain
    Adrian had cut the brushless motor power to 45% as it was his first test run. He intends to redistribute the weight and increase the power and see how it goes on the next test. I will try and be present and video to see how he fares.

Imai1/40 "Half Moon"
This is my very first wood model. I started to build her long time ago but when I got to the rigging part, I came to a screeching halt do to the lack of rigging knowledge.
After several years of being built without rigging, our cleaning lady knocked it off the base to the floor. It was a total disaster, 3 years after that, I decided to refurbished it and do the rigging with the help of this book.
