carl1967 Posted October 28, 2009 Author Share Posted October 28, 2009 I'll interested to see how you do all those. I will hopefully be making a start on the harbour extension in a week or 2. Will post pics on this site when I get them. I don't have a Caolisport thread now, I don't like the new blog thingy, its clumsy. Have you thought about exhibiting your skills, with a suitable layout? cheerio Mike Hi mike I was thinking of doing one of Gourock station, what ya think!!!! Look at the links, google maps shows Juno in port laid up. so will do the new ship BUTE and JUNO for the layout. i am going to make BUTE with full LED lighting and fiber optic lighting in the bridge. http://maps.google.c...F-8&sa=N&tab=wl http://en.wikipedia....railway_station Carl Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clagmeister Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 Hi Carl, I was supposed to sign Gourock last year and in the end didn't get the chance to visit. I did get to Wymess though and was very impressed with the buildings. Would be a very neat layout. Even gets the odd Royal Scotsmen visit too! Is Juno withdrawn for good now then? Saturn and Jupiter still going? Can't beat the streakers. cheerio Mike Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saturn and Jupiter still going? Can't beat the streakers. cheerio Mike Hi mike Juno is keeping Saturn and Jupiter in spare parts. Saturn Has seen service at Dunoon, on Clyde cruises and is now employed as second Arran ferry in the summer and winter relief at Dunoon. Has also undergone berthing trials at Kennacraig, Port Ellen and Port Askaig. JUPITER is now found permanently on the Gourock - Dunoon crossing and has outlived her younger sister JUNO, which was withdrawn in April 2007. She is now the oldest member of the fleet and dedicates all of her time to the route for which she was built and is no longer required on the Rothesay crossing a few miles south. The picture was from back in 2006 showing Juno in service at Gourock. Carl Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruce Depot Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 Carl Perhaps you should look for a job as model maker on a film set etc, your skills are excellent. When finished this boat is going to be a stunner... Maybe you should also send a photo of it to CalMac! cheers Keith Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sixteen 12by 10s Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 I think I am giving up railway modeling, and concentrate on Cal mac ferry's. This one is coming on a treat, but I can't wait to see the Columba. Thinking of doing one of the island class, for Glenuig, Rarsay or Eig. There's not room for anything bigger, but if I were to extend the board a little....... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waverley West Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 Not very impressed with these pics to be honest, Carl. Not at all. Cheers, Dave Waverley West Keep saying it, Dave, keep saying it. You don't want one, you don't have the room, you've already got a layout which doesn't have room for one anyway even if you did want one. No, that's right. But, but....

You don't want one, you don't have the room, you've already got a layout which doesn't have room for one anyway even if you did want one. No, that's right. But, but.... Just give in Dave. I think there may be a few locations left in the West of Scotland that havn't been done yet. I think you would make a good stab of Oban or Wemyss bay. If you do build one with a big enough harbour I'm sure 'Heb' could do some winter relief work there. Nothing like a new project! We should form a cal mac club 16 12X10's would join too I'm sure. cheerio Mike Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MRDBLUE17 Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 That Ferry is coming along very nicely and is simply stunning! The level of detail especially the bridge is very impressive and this will make such a unique feature on the layout - well unless everyone else is planning a layout with a harbour with another model of your fine work in it! I would love one but there is no room for one on Rannoch and any future extension to this! I will certainly be following progress on this at it is brilliant!

I think it could be done in a reasonable space with a photographic backscene with McCaig's tower. the town and maybe even Mull. I've been there quite a bit recently and there seem to be plenty of Kyle of Lochalsh layouts around these days, which was my original idea. 27s or 37s pottering around 1980s-style with one of these.... or its predecessor in the background. Hmmm.... It's an idea. (I expect you're going to tell me that would be a serious beast in 00, aren't you Carl?!). No, stop this now, both of you.... Stop it, I say!! Well, then again...

Cheers, Dave Waverley West Hi Dave Isle of Mull is still in service, Oban to Craignure. The model works out at 1184mm long by 204mm wide, that??™s just over 46.5ins by 8ins. So its only 2.5 to 3ins longer than Heb but has full decks over the stern. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clagmeister Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 But by tendering rules won't the ship end up being built in Gdansk by a guy called Carlovich. It would be a bit tight having Isle of Mull and 37/4's at Oban. Launched in 1987. Entred service April 1988. Get away with it just. Maybe Claymore 3 would be a better bet. You could have your 27's and 37/4's then. Or you could do just what you want and not be holden to some inner law cheerio Claggy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
