New this winter

[Lornepark]

I suddenly inherited my dad's models and am now going to try and finish the only one that he never completed. I look forward to using this site, as it looks like I'm going to need it to finish what I believe is an unfinished model of the P. S. Marmion

Try to get some photos posted Gordo, and then ask your questions - I'm sure we can help.

Hull is solid layered wood

Graupner wheels, and electric motors, servo and receiver. No plans of any kind. My Dad thought it was a model of the Glen Rosa, but I'm guessing Marmion. Dad had it given to him by my uncle. I'd like to finish this repeatedly abandoned project.

Hi, and welcome to paddleducks. Its nice to read a new face! I have my doubts about your model being that of the beautiful Marmion. She had a very long narrow hull- 210 foot long with a beam of only 24 feet across her  hull giving her a ratio of nearly 9 to 1. Your hull has a much smaller ratio  and is quite deep and has the looks of an early tug. Also Marmion had a near vertical knife edge bow where yours has a raked and curved bow. The stern is almost "spooned" and is rather full , again like a tug .I am pretty certain P N Thomas did an article on her.  In model  Bo ts magazine,   I think in the ninetee seventies , with a detailed plan. If so it will be in paddleducks plans/articles section. Regards, Walter.

Interesting approach with that Tamiya double motor gearbox.
