RMweb Premium Hippo Posted October 18, 2016 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 18, 2016 Not sure if any one is interested but the latest edition of Model Rail magazine dropped through the letter box yesterday. In it there is a code to download a free fishing boat kit from scalescenes in N or OO. It looks to be a nice kit and a bit smaller than the recently released puffer. It looks to be the same period though and would go nicely with it on a dock scene. Owen Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes sorry, it does have an engine, not sails. Its actually described as a trawler. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edwardian Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 Well, despite the 1950s target audience, it's clearly a planked hull and deck, so I imagine that without the modern bridge, it would be suitable for earlier periods. A good thing to have. Thanks to Scalescenes and Model Rail. Better still was the £60 wine voucher, however. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Campaman Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 The Model Rail site seems to be still showing last months issue as being current, and I can not see any mention of it on the Scalescenes site, I am interested in this but need to have a better look before I go searching for the magazine locally.

66C Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 Just a thought - if you were to use the wheelhouse from the puffer, the trawler could be backdated somewhat. Regards. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Removed a/c Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 Thanks for the info, now do I just order a single copy for the free model? With shipping @£6 I may just wait for the model to appear on the Scalescenes website ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold phil_sutters Posted October 20, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 20, 2016 Just a thought - if you were to use the wheelhouse from the puffer, the trawler could be backdated somewhat. Regards. You might get away with just painting it in a darker colour and adding a cylindrical funnel aft of the wheel house. A suggestion for the masts, which I guess will be fabricated from rolled card in the kit, use cheap 'artists' brush handles. The tapered look works well - and you can always use old brushes or paint with a shortened handle! If you want to customize your trawler's number to locate it at a port near your layout you can find their registration numbers at https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/uk-vessel-lists Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

brossard Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 I am in Canada and my local store does not carry this magazine nor can I order so have to ship from the UK. Around here (Montreal) the main UK model Railway mags are readily available. Is there a magazine store nearby? I get the mom and pop newsagents in the mall to hold the magazines for me, even MRJ. Perhaps a request to one of the local stores will get you the magazines. They're always a month or so late. John Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
66C Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 Another thought for using the trawler kit. If it were printed at a slightly reduced size and with a different wheelhouse it could represent a typical wooden-hulled inshore fishing boat such as that illustrated here: http://www.kinlochbervie.info/scripts/gallery.asp?Root=selfhelp&list=20 One of the great things about John's kits is their potential for modification.

If you have a branch of Chapters/Indigo in your area they do carry UK publications. I convinced our local to stock MRJ so Model Rail shouldn't be a problem.

The instructions suggest Evergreen styrene rods for the masts - you are not expected to roll them up from paper! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
