Build log part 16 boatstation gratings, boat cradles and functional strapping down devices Nav. light lamp fixed to upper bridge boats ready for putting on the cradles boats tackled the characteristic of the Elbing resp. Heinrich Kayser is that her boats were arranged in having the lifeboat in forward Position and the work boat behind. As far as my Research Shows for her sister ships it was just the other way round funnel and Davit stays fixed view from aft with mounted steering chain 3 views with eyes on boatdeck level Build log part 17 to follow....

Build log part 15 chain gude chanels chain wind drums of steering steam engine (in deckhousing) anchor chain guide shoes with spindle operated wedge stopper the large horizontal chain guidewheel is also from a clockwork the two steering wheels come each in small mini kits and must be set together for assembly and soldering (RB Models) aft mast and funneltips in black colour, and cross check with plan the Progress at this stage is not always so obvious to be seen... from todays Point of view I would not use These selfmade metal blocks for Tackling the loadbeams again Nav. lights and their mounting panels two lifeboats, two working boats set of Davits with selfmade functional double sheaved blocks Build log part 16 to follow...

Thank you for your words Michael, I was looking for such made in metal (not cast)... in vain, so then started doing them myself Nils

Bob to get some of the assemblies to work functional was my own set Obligation and to a certain makeable degree. The winches and windlasses with working gears movable Pistons,crossheadrods and gears, etc. were at 1:96 the (for my behalf) smallest makable Limit. For the auxillary rudder spindle the Tools for cutting M2 threads left /right and the M2 female threaded wedge would have been so exspensive that I nearly waved the functional Feature obligation, but then came the brainflash with utilizing the M2 brass Stay spanner with beautiful M2 threads, costing me appr. 2,- Euro Cheers Nils

Build log part 14 now quite a lot of metal has work to be done.... that gives the Feeling Henry Ford must have had with early factory production, many repeating parts and assemblies... winches-windlasses all in scale 1:96 a Little painting, but I wanted the brass to be visible for nostagalgic appeal well, here they are rowed up infront of the factory yard and then fitted at the loading stations another birds view on the auxillary rudderstand 3 views of the twin steam-cylinder forecastle anchorchain windlass These two chain-spoolwinder-drums with slide guide are connected port / starboard to the steam-rudderchain engine in the (not visable) aft deckhousing compartment.

Building log part 13 now ist time to do some more Details..., there are 11 steam-winches / windlasses in different types and in coilspool- and gear Arrangement to be made in scale 1:96 Here beginning with one of the loadbeam winches...with each two steam cylinder attachments working on the fast crankshaft rod, and with spindle opperated drum band-brake auxillary rudder stand upper Bridge rudder stand and machine telemotor. The Bridge steering was remote conrolling steamvalves of the steamsupply to an seperate steam engine situated in horizontal Position in the aftside of the mid-deckhousing. The prelonged crankshaftends sticked out to port and starbord side and connected to the opposite turning chainwinderes of the steering chain. It was that steering chain that broke and caused the unmanouverability of the ship. Probably in the heavy washing sea with flooded decks the auxillary rudderstand could not be maned.The ship was sowith doomed to ist fate... funnel stays mounted building log part 14 to follow.....

Build log part 12 starting with the rigging, stays, shrouds and loadbeam tackle I began in using stainless steel wire chords, but that caused too much Trouble in soldering,although Special alloy solder and Special flux was used. Swapped to using tin galvanized steel chords (exellent soldering possible wih the old experienced way !) The great functional shroud and stay spanners (source : RB Models)allow strumming, you can Play bassguitar on. This Feature was addopted with good success to my tallship models as well The heavy (Center placed to the Forward mast)beam gets a Special tackle here we have the kinematic components of the auxillary, emergency rudder device. The horizontal spindle Left + right thread allows real fuctional Operation, when clutched in to rudder shaft, disabling the normal chain remote steering. now nearly ready for the poopdeck railing to be fitted Build log part 13 to follow....

B.E. Thank you for your Kind words Nils

Crackers, many thanks for your appreciative and encouraging words, I`ll have your Suggestion in mind for the day when (if) I Need to give it in other than family Hands. Question: do you as a Senior model builder have any personal relation to Bremerhaven? You are correct, the Shipping Company Kayser & Son was based at Bremerhaven before the ship had been transfered to their Hamburg subsiduary, but that is only known to very few People..... The fate of that shipping Company owner Family really shocked me and was very much touching, sad to say. Nils

Thank you Ray, Thank you John regards Nils

Bob you shall make me very happy if you go on pleasing your mind (thought), and very welcome to the stoker gang, who really knows in our days of gas turbine and atomic operated ship powerplants, what a stephenson reverse device is Cheers Nils

Hi, trust you are reflecting to the outlet (suction mode) vents... well, the longer vertical tube is cut to fit soldering a small short cross-tube on top, an then for the parts of the intake side and for the discharge side I cut these off the Ends of small steel-brassplated mini Christmas Jingle bells In case you mean the spheric bowl typ, this is shown earlier in part 4 of my build log Hope this serves your question Nils

Bob you are right, I feel the same, and have therefore gathered quite some experience in soldering (solderable metals) with either small gastourch or with soldering iron Nils

Crackers, that idea is not completely out of this world, because I`m running out of space in my Hobby Office right now, I am 66 years old and I hope that they might find an honorable anchoring place in my childrens homes one day. Right now I have 2 steamships, two Tallships, and the uncompleted scratchbuilt 18th century Pegasus in Progress. Besides that you might know or have experienced yourself, that the modelers fingers start itching when one gets mind-pregnant with the next "Project", at least the ideas Keep on sparkling... It is since I had retired from my work that I again have time to go after this Hobby. Cheers Nils

Paul, thanks for sharing your soldering excellent tutorial Nils

Danny I`m absolutely with Adam... As you probably recognized, I`m taking a Little pause on my own P.Sue build, but seeing your fabulous work in process really encourages me....to get further going on it again Nils
