Recently we've had dozens of users join us from Russia, but few if any have posted a message, they just seem interested in taking all the plans and articles we have to offer but give back nothing :-(

Come on guys, there were LOTS of paddlers in Russia, so tell us about them, tell us about yourselves, basically TALK to us!! We don't bite honest!!

...yes, let's see what you're going to do with those plans  

Eddy:
 
It occurs to me that Russian PD's are not talking because they  might not be able to speak our language!   On the other side of the  coin, I have taken plans from Russian websites but I'm darned if I could even  say "hello" in Russian!

A valid point Paul, but some of them must understand english surely?

Oh well, it's not that big a deal, but maybe one of them will read and understand this thread and reply?

Ich habe nur gedacht, daß Sie eine Erwiderung zu diesem Posten mögen dürften. Leider hat mein Computerübersetzer Russe nicht aber hat gedacht, daß Sie mögen dürften, etwas auf deutsch nur zu lesen, zu lassen, daß Sie wissen, daß ich Ihre Posten lese! Sie werden bemerken, daß es kein sehr gutes Programm ist das ein dis wirklich von keiner Hilfe überhaupt Versuch, deutsche Satz Anweisungen zu übersetzen!

Just to show how well this prog works - this is how it translates the above back into English:

Eddy

I only thought that you would be allowed to like an answer to this post.  Unfortunately my computer translator Russian has thought not however that you would be allowed to like to read, to let somewhat in German only that you know, that I read your posts!  They will note, is that it no very good program that a dis actual of no aid generally attempt to translate German sentence directions!  



Andrew

Yes I know you read my posts Andrew - But you really should get a better translator! :-)

I don't know if this page has been posted before,  but it covers the type 737 paddle steamers, in English

The links to the photo galleries at the top of the page show  some paddle steamers, including this fascinating shot of the paddle steamer  KRASNOYARSK pushing  what looks like a multi-storey car park, on the River  Yenesei

Sorry, the reference in my last posting to the River  Yenesei, should be the river Lena

Thanks for the link Alistair - It looks like it's site that's worth having a good trawl over.... Since it's getting late here I'll take a proper look tomorrow...

And the URL for the paddle steamer with the  multi-storey car park is
