IIRC, not only is the valve train moving but so are the gear train on Bob's engines.

Jeez! in the 15 years since I've seen him, the little beaner hasn't changed at all---.

Maybe grayer, but the same full-of-mischief grin---.

Watch out for that guy---.

How many details here I don't have a clue how to make myself...

"Where do you get work gloves in this scale?"

From the scrap basswood box. Bob said it took 1/2 an hour to whittle them.

I was very fortunate to be a member of the same RC club Bob belonged to, the Maritime Modelers, and he is as friendly and helpful as he is talented. I can't tell you how flattered I was when he would take the time to go over details on one of my boats at the park. An unbelieveable artist and model builder----John h

Refer to post #3 above.

In Sausalito, north of SF, and met her owner, Capt. Sommers. NICE tug! Didn't realize before, she has a wood hull.
