A GOOD "FIND" OF PADDLE TUG PLANS
« on: March 31, 2006, 05:49:08 AM »
A bit of good fortune came my way today, I have been given copies of two shipyard plans of the paddle tugs PT  LINGDALE at inch to 3 feet scale inluding lines and cross sections and PT JOHN AMOS at 1/48th scale including  hull lines and cross sections. Both will need a little TLC before I can get them copied and I hope to get them reduced to A4 and post them on Paddleducks. With a little bit of coaxing I think there may be a lot of other useful stuff from the same source ( a long retired shipyard modeller). Regards to all, Walter.

That sounds great... PT JOHN AMOS is very interesting even for me not a 'paddleduck' at all  :) . Anyways I have a model in mind of a handsome paddle tug  :D  For sure steam driven  not electric :twisted:.

I've just got copies of the plans for the Lingdale and the John H Amos from Walter - Thanks mate!

I have to admit the Lingdale looks very appealing! With it's paddles set well forward and it's twin (side by side) funnels it would make into a lovely model, and at first glance it looks like the Graupner paddlewheels would fit it very nicely at 1:36 scale.

Definately one that I'll have to give some serious thought to....

Dear Walter - I am going to throw myself on your mercy!.  I have been looking for drawings for a  two funnel astride paddle tug for about 5 years!
When I built Reliant/Old Trafford I foolishly started on a quest to build about 4 tugs of different layouts but have never been able to find a complete enough set of drawings to do the deed.

I build all my models to 24th scale. Could you confirm that the drawings you have of Lingdale do in fact have the sheer lines and sections? (I have the G/A drawing published in P N Thomas's book) and would you be willing to sell me a set?

Waiting hopefully

Stuart Badger   :wink:

No problem Stuart.I am off to the Dortmund model show Tuesday, But i will get in touch when I get back. I will get the plans copied (2 sheets) when I get back. (Hopefully with more paddler stuff). I think we are near neighbours (arent you up on the Tyne?). How about a swap for any paddler plan that you have? I can get plans copied quickly and cheaply (£2.75 for an A0 size). If you are up on the Tyne perhaps we could meet to hand them to you over a cuppa! Eddy and I like the teraroom on North shields fish quay. Sheet 1 is a very good GA plan and profile. Sheet 2 is hull lines and crosssections)frames). I will be in touch. Regards, Walter. PS Havnt you got  good web cover of Your RELIANT? How about posting it on our links section, From memory it is excellent.

Thanks very much Walter. I'm in West Sussex in the soft south I'm afraid!!

I'll wait for you to contact me. I haven't posted a link to the web coverage of Reliant but I think there are still a stack of photos in the old Yahoo site pics.

If you are interested I have a set of drawings for DFDS's Zampa?

Yes - thats mine Walter. Twin puffin engines and interior detail. I'll try and find the link for you. I know it was Doug Ord's tynside memorabilia site that featured it under the 'model tugs' section.

Dear Walter
I have sent 3 replys via private mail, but my 'sent box' remains empty. Am I doing something wrong?
