Ripaman Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 I know you like steam ships so I thought I would show you a ship my Dad built when he was 16 have all his drawings of it somewhere, made it all out of tin cans then added a boiler in it, all worked. I do remember going to Poole Park with him and seeing it work when I was a lad. One day I will have to spruce it up and get it working again, its about 75 years old.

I wonder if she was based on a particular vessel or she's generic based on the type of vessels calling at Poole at that time. Martian will probably remember it well. Do you know scale and length. Thanks for sharing that with us Richard Kev 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for sharing that with us Richard Kev Nice model and it would be great to see it working again. I have only been living here since 1991 so the model is a bit before my time. Mrs Martian is a Poole girl though so I will ask her. Martian 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martian Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 It occurred to me that you could turn this into a diorama based on "The Maggie" or Para Handy. Don't worry, we can all chip in with constructive ideas so that should give you every confidence! Martian 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
