Latest project...and it is "O" scale!

AL Swift Pilot boat.

She’s a beauty! [tup]

Becky

Thanks!

Philo - nice!

1700’s? American or British? The gaffs aren’t peaked up too high and the bows are bluff, so I’m guessing the 1780’s?

Well you can see the American flag and the box says it was launched in 1805 so it is in the ballpark,

Very nice all you need now is a Ukulele and you can go sailing with FIFEDOG.

Keep up the good work.

Don’t need a uke when i have this!

…and here is a vid of me playing a little something! (click the pic to view the clip).

Rails, sails, and ukes; what’s not to love?

I think every layout should have a schooner. [Y][oX)]

“…and all I ask is a Tall Ship and a star to steer her by…”

Yes, the new stuff can amaze us, but only the old things make us dream.

Thank you for that. Took me straight back to a dusty classroom, fifty years ago, and Miss Stanley, who tried to teach us poetry. It was many years before I really appreciated her efforts.

You’re welcome Graeme! Just for you…
