Marchioness of Lorne - 1935 ~ 1955
« on: January 30, 2012, 07:02:12 AM »
Hi All,
well after a long delay and a Kit revision i think it is probably best that i start a fresh on this build.
For those that are interested this semi kit was launched in 2010 but since then i have made significant investment in machinery and as a result some of the production methods have been changed.
The previous start to this build remains on the Forum should you like to go see how this all started.

Anyway, a lot of Cad drawing and working out has been done since i originally posted. A looming deadline and want to get her on the water means i should be whizzing along ... famous last words...

Once MOL is complete i will re visit the other threads started on here.

I have less than 8 weeks to go so hang on to your seats ...  :hehe

Regards
Kim

LoL Ian i was joking ...

But i should say ... if any of the original Buyers of the kit (you remember the guys that bought it at reduced price) would benefit from the improvements ... our to put it another way... Haven't got around to building yet then i will happily replace the parts FOC ...

Remember, i know who the original buyers were... please don't try it on ...

Buckle up Ian..

Regards,
Kim

Interesting that the new mods jump on me just as quick.. for a benefit in kind to original supporters of my venture! Yet make no mention / acknowledgement of my departure.
No hard feelings ,,,, either way!

Huh? Maybe you might want to explain that Kim? I don't know what you mean - Maybe via a PM or email rather than openly on the forum?

Hope all is well up there in bonny Scotland...

Eddy,
First of all i'm really glad to see you posting again....

You know me .. i don't hide like to do business that behind closed doors..

Ian sen't mail sent ' ref mods' ... which i assume to mean moderators... so I & public can't see...

I gave up my post recently as Mod / Admin ...

So no idea what is being said ... never seen it on another post ?


Regards,
Kim

Hi Kim,

my apologies for the miss understanding, the post meant i had sent you an email reference the modifications to the kit, i posted as quite a few of my emails are ending up in peoples spam folder.  so i just wanted to let you know i had emailed you about the kit and its upgrade.  nothing to do about moderation/forum at all.

again apologies

Hi Kim and all

my MOL, which I began in June 2010, will be finished soon, I think in the mid of march.
She is driven by steam with a Graham 2 cylinder engine and a home made boiler. The deplacement will not extend
6,5 kg, the boat dives only a little more in than the constructed water line, stability is sufficicent.

It was necessary, to use only very thin and light materials (for example 0,2 mm alu sheet for the funnel and 0,8 mm plywood which 0,5 mm mahagny strips for the decks and roofes) to avoide more weight.

In the next weeks I `ll finish the details. The boat will be well detailed. When it is finished, I hope to show you some pics of the model steaming on a pond in south Germany - but only, when the ice will be broken!

greetings to all

Tom

I'm sure a lot of people will be interested in seeing your MOL Tom, especially the steamplant installation...

Looking forward to some pictures soon.
