Dusseldorf Function Test

I have now completed the final tests before launching and everything works well. I will do a small update soon because the crane still cannot clear the stern railings. The solution is to reduce the size of the hook on the crane. It does look rather big.😀 I have tried again to load a video of the wiring. We will see.

Hi Albert90,

Your Smit Nederland is superbly built, and I love the sound system!

Pity we're so far away from each other?

As, I'd love to do some tug boating competition with you?

Also, Thanks for pointing out the wrong lighting on my mast!

Regards,

My Last Video I Made During the First UK Lockdown Period - Dunkirk 1940

Having recently posted the other two videos I made to pass the time when the UK was first locked down due to the pandemic I thought I would post the third and final short video I made at the time.

This video covers the evacuation of the British Expeditionary Force from the beaches of Dunkirk in Northern France in 1940 by the armada of ships and little boats that went to their rescue.

The amazing tenacity of the British people in war torn Britain in 1940. Without their rescue the outcome of World War II could have been dramatically different.

I Found Another Lockdown Video I'd Like To Share

During the first Lockdown I made the video about my N gauge railway layout which I put on the forum this morning. Whilst searching through my hard disc I found some others I had made at the same time. This is one of them.

Having previously been a fireman I have a great interest in the history of the service from it's beginnings and particularly the men and woman from the NFS and AFS who fought fires and completed rescues throughout the Blitz of World War II from the 7th September 1940 to the 11th May 1941 and beyond. When there was an air raid these men and women stayed above ground to fight the subsequent fires and make rescues from collapsed buildings when many other people took cover below.

This short video apart from being an exercise for me in making YouTube videos is also my tribute to those men and women.

NFS - National Fire Service
AFS - Auxiliary Fire Service

Well done firefighter - very graphic, very poignant and very sad that we still live in a world where such atrocities can happen !.

Hello Luckyduck,

Thank you very much for your reply to my post. Absolutely fascinating that your Mother was a valued member of the NFS in World War II. Many of the firewomen during the Blitz and throughout the war, although they did not perform frontline fire fighting duties were responsible for many tasks. They operated the telephone and radio systems and fire plotting rooms throughout the country many above ground and did suffer casualties from falling bombs. They also transported fire fighting equipment from location to location as needed and often delivered equipment to fire scenes during air raids. And of course we must not forget they also staffed the canteen wagons that provided food and a cup of tea to the firemen at often protracted incidents.

When the war first started in 1939 these men, with little to do, were looked upon by some people as those who where avoiding joining the armed services and serving with the British Expeditionary Force fighting in France. These men were looked down on as cowards. When the Blitz started in September of 1940 all that changed.

When the war ended, 1027 firemen and over 24 firewomen had lost their lives.

Winston Churchill called all that served in the NFS and AFS "Heroes with grimy faces"

Miss Katherine from Mahone Bay scrap yard to Barry’s Bay

Miss Katherine runs very well though the geared motor linkage is a bit noisy, needed some grease.

Here is the real Miss Katherine as you will find her today should you visit Mahone Bay, Nova Scotia. She has been in the boat yard for over 15 years.

It was from these photos that the model was created by me.

A Short Video of My N Gauge Model Railway Layout That I Recently Posted

Having completed my layout depicting the preparations for D-Day in 1944 along came the pandemic. So as a Lockdown project I decided to make some short videos to put on YouTube. As I had not produced any videos before I wanted to see how easy or not it was to make and upload on YouTube.

As I recently posted a collection of photographs of my N gauge shelf layout I decided to add the video.

Hello Ron,

With regards to the YouTube link, I am obviously doing something wrong when adding the link to the video but for the life of me I don't know where I have made a mistake. So I have copied below the YouTube link that can be copied and pasted into a browser.

Sorry for the error.

Hi NickD
Good info from RNinMunich and probably not generally known.
I would switch on the Bluetooth before your Tx and all should be ok as the Tx (certainly those of recent manufacture) should avoid using the channels selected by your Bluetooth device.
All devices use Frequency Hopping and use a shared map of hop times and frequencies between devices to identify heavily used channels and avoid. This is the binding process.
The info is constantly monitored and regularly updated to allow for new transmissions.
That being the case both should work without issue but as ToraDog says I would not wish to use the Bluetooth device on a critical control.

Hi Nick, I use BT music players in a couple of my boats, as well as a remote key fob (433mhz) operated engine sound start relay, and have no problems with either. BT Doesn't have a great range (around 40ft on the water) but if you are just using it for an effect which for close up it should be fine. Bench testing will tell if it will affect your set-up (range test outside etc).

I've used it from my watch to the boat, the small Ruizu player to the boat, the Ruizu player in the boat to the BT board/player, for music and radio - aerial on the boat is functional for the radio, (aerial to Ruizu player to board via BT) all BT board functions (including music from an SD card ) controlled by an ifrared remote- pic 4), from the Ruizu player to a BT speaker in the boat and from Ruizu player in the boat to the BT speaker. No problems so far.

That speed looks so much more realistic to how I used to enjoy real touring in my kayak as a younger fitter lad.
Regular trips from Leicester to Skegness by kayak, and collected by my dad for return trip. 3 days out 2 hours return.
Thanks for reminding me of my youth.
Cheers Colin.

Bermuda rigged "Slim Nip"

Seen here on on here maiden voyage this weekend - my Bermuda rigged "Slim Nip" evolved from many hours of enjoyment I have had building, sailing and re tweaking previous "Nips".
The Bermuda rigged "Slim Nip" was a natural progression from my recent uni rigged "Slim Nip" - I just had to explore how an extended (75cm) Bermuda rigged hull would look and sail ?.
The results so far are - Very pleasing !.

Thanks for the comments guys !.
Still a bit unsure what will happen when she gets a good blow ! - I don't enjoy sailing in a howling gale but I can alter the keel weight if necessary and alter the jib fixing point along with sail area combinations.
Still all very suck it and see ! .
Enjoy !
