You are close enough to call them on their 800 line

Try contacting them directly telling them what it is you are making and ask for the information being sought. Generally Dumas kits are not accurately researched, they are a generalization of a vessel. It’s up to yhe model builder to conduct their own research if accuracy is important to their work.

Include in your email a couple close-up photos of the plan sheet with the difference clearly indicated. Use the:

Let me know how you make out with your request.

The Shelly Foss company has tugboats in various locations on the northwest coastal waters. Is there a specific tugboat you are building which is currently in their fleet?

Is it working out of Seattle? Tacoma? Everett? Bellingham? Olympia or other ports?

looks like you have changed the drive mechanism.Yours looks neat
er .
how have you done it?

Thanks Dave M & Chris Lang.
What a fantastic resource this website is! Your replies are safely stored in my "Model Boat" file, and have given me the confidence that in due course I can overcome the hydrant challenge, and get plenty of advice when I need it.
Thanks again.

HI Roger
Try http://modelfireboats.com/?link=3599. This dealt with others efforts re working fire monitors

HI Roger
Robbe sell working fire hydrants that work quite well. You may need to restrict your pump as the pressure will be quite high and I have had problems with the pump separating on occasion. Really depends on the scale you need to use. in essence the workings are a bit of bent pipe and a fine jet. The mount and body can be made from plasticard and old biro's etc. There have been Forum posts on home made fire hydrants so I suggest you have a scout through the build blogs on thios site.
