About this boat

Scratch build of the SAR&H tug J. R. More which was the last large steam tug built on the Clyde. Over 2 years to complete the model. Great tug on the water with differential motor control, can go about on the spot. Rotating Radar, working lights and woop-woop sounder as per the original.

J. R. More still exists at the Durban Maritime Museum in South Africa. Although about to go under restoration by the good friends of the Durban Maritime Museum.

If you visit South Africa and Durban, it is well worth visiting and go aboard.

If anyone is interested in building a model of JR More or the Durban Tug - FC Sturrock. Model Boats have plans available and I have lots of photographs taken a few years back, which I have made available - please contact me if you want to view or copy. (Motor: MFA919D Geared 1:6) (ESC: Mtronicks Viper Marine) (9/10)
