But I really can't resist a challenge, so I'm happy to have a play if you like

All I need is a parameter like this:

SailType ( Lateen )

Or is it a Lugsail.....

Cheers

Rich

Can't wait for that, looks fun

The real thing will be even more fune, pity I'm over there a week too late to see its maiden voyage (is that the correct term, as it is a boat after all

)

HeeHeee

Lovely Stuff Kevin, if you need any help on the paint scheme I think I've got a couple photos (come to think though, you proably do as well!)

Will you be there to see them "pushing the boat out?" I know I will be

Bruce

(Comment from a certain carriage painter "that thing is a bloody pain to paint... we could do with far less of these "little treats"!!)

Fantastic would you like some more drawings as i have a huge amount here. As my dads desining the brake gear. He & I along with othersare manufacturing it.

"pushing the boat out?"

That might not be so true but I can't tell you why.

Bruce,
If you have a photo of how the livery ended up then I wouldn't mind seeing it. I've only read about the proposed colour scheme but not actually seen it.

William,
Plans are always useful, if you have them. I have had a go at the brake gear. Be interesting to see how close (or not) I am.

Don't think I will be able to make it for the vintage gala, I'm afraid

Cheers,
Kevin

The livery is FR Maroon with a black interior and varnished wood front as shown here:

By the end of the week the interior was black.

Thanks for the picture, Bruce. Can see from that that I've made an error in my model

William, I've sent you a PM.

Cheers,
Kevin

Sorry but I don't quite understand.

Not made much progress today (apart from adding the suspension).

A picture of its first test run in the game with Emily bravely acting as a passenger, (especially as there's no brakesman!)

Cheers,
Kevin
