    Hi Albert90,

    Your Smit Nederland is superbly built, and I love the sound system!

    Pity we're so far away from each other?

    As, I'd love to do some tug boating competition with you?

    Also, Thanks for pointing out the wrong lighting on my mast!

    Regards,

    Ed-

CreweMBC live Steam TID Tug by Brian Clewes sailing at Boundary Park
Managed to capture some video of Brian Clewes' live steam TID tug on the lake this Wednesday 19 October. First chance for a proper sail and a bit more ballast needed.

T.I.D Class Tug
Known as 'TID's', 182 of these little prefabricated tugs were built in modular units, by several different yards around the U.K. often by women workers. Brent started off as TID 159 and was the very last of her class to be built being completed in 1946.

Details on the Judy B
Hello everyone, I hope things are absolutely great in your neck of the woods...A great tug like this one being constructed in the local Toluca Lake shipyards, needs a good radar. I have gone with the @indows 95 look. I am also fully committed to adding some wooden IKEA sliding doors, they will be well-balanced, with a "fingertip touch" when I am through. I am following through with similar swung doors on the captain's cabin.

Status of converted tug Judy B 🚤😊🤞
She is out of Toluca Lake, close to the Pacific Ocean in Southern California. Some of the very best ships came from those yards in Toluca Lake.
My dad made my Mom a great tugboat with this name back in the 1960's. We always had real boats, and the handmade and very detailed model would get pulled out of the dock box to get towed about while the barbeque was burning down. It got lost over the years and I have christened this beautiful ship in tribute to her. The curves on this tugboat are quite handsome and eye-catching from my rather jaundiced point of view. I can't wait to swing the compass, and run the measured mile with her. Peace to all my model boat enthusiast pals!

    There's a really great shop in Glendale, I think, called Harbor Models...they have a great website and they are the kind of shop I want to back up a semi tractor trailer up to and buy everything!

Here's a few pic's of the slightly modified 85 foot US Army tug...
Hi, guys. I am finishing the rails and hope to find a pond or swimming pool in this landlocked, god-forsaken city I live in. I have decided the Corgi one-man Yellow Submarine looked spiffy. I have lost me sea legs, lads! Jeebus save me!

A recent evening at the local center pond ...
I got there late, but a few boats were still out on the water.
Video was taken by a friend from the deck of his Shelley Foss Tug.

Look what the Easter Bunny brought me!
Up until now, I didn't have a tug boat in my harbor. Every harbor should have a tug on duty, right? This is how it came, I plan to add a couple embellishments, but this one is primarily "for fun".

Back at Towne Lake for more fun and friendship. Had a good time, we saw 2 subs in the water, a few tugs, launches, working boats and an old MRP deep vee and a Micro Magic. I had a great time as I finally got my Italeri Vosper handling decently even in the windy conditions we had. A little more tweaking and she’ll be spot on, but I’m pleased with her for now.
