john46 Posted April 13, 2013 #31 Posted April 13, 2013 By the way, did you know that all those steamboats/ships wouldn't be there without the invention of Stephensen which is applied for many many years. So is that not ship related. . .

schiffebastler Posted April 13, 2013 #32 Posted April 13, 2013 Hi Jim, just found your build log for the Robert-E-Lee. It looks really amazing, very accurate and nice build! Years ago, I build the same kit and it is always great to see again this ship. If you are interested, here you can see a few pictures of my own one: http://www.segelschiffsmodellbau.com/t1307f99-Robert-E-Lee.html Will follow your thread.

Script Posted April 13, 2013 Author #33 Posted April 13, 2013 Joachim, Thanks for stopping by. I looked at your build...excellent! Mine is not going to be nearly as good. I don't intend to mount the flags or anchors and I am not installing the aft lifeboat. The anchors just seemd out of place on the boat and when I researched riverboats in general, I could not find a picture of a single one with anchors. They evidently spent most of their not-moving time either up against the riverbank or tied to something.... No excuse for not putting on the aft lifeboat other than I was too far along when I noticed...... John, Yes, I was familiar with the Stephenson Rocket from my Model RR days. Steam was such a great powering method in that era....perhaps a bit dangerous but there would have been no industrial revolution without it. I saw your other note about putting my stagecoach build here....have you got any suggestions as to a site where it might be acceptable? By the way, I do not speak a second language......

realworkingsailor Posted April 13, 2013 #34 Posted April 13, 2013 (edited) For the record, Stephenson did not invent the steam engine, he just improved its used for locomotion (although he did invent a method of valve control). I should add, nice work on the Lee, Jim. Andy Edited April 13, 2013 by realworkingsailor Quote Quando Omni Flunkus, Moritati Current Build: USF Confederacy

By the way, I do not speak a second language...... Jim, I recall that on MSW 1.0, Danny Vadas told the story of joining a stage-coach building forum, only to be told that he wasn't welcome because he was building his from a kit and they only catered to scratch builders. Not much help I'm afraid, except as a reminder that not all forums are as friendly and well run as MSW.

Script Posted April 13, 2013 Author #37 Posted April 13, 2013 Thanks Andy, Yes, steam drive was invented prior to the Rocket..... On another note, the mill I worked in had a steam driven shear that could cut 24" x 24" hot steel blooms. The diameter of the ram was 20" and the steam accumulator was 60"....it was operated by pushing a long lever to slowly release the steam pressure into the ram. Quite noisy and very interesting. Somewhere on the casing was a build date in the 1890's by Mesta Machine, I seem to remember. John, Thanks.....as you know, we wouldn't be doing this if it wasn't fun! Grant, Thanks for the look in....seems you've been gone for a while..glad you're back! As for other build sites, I'll keep that in mind....this is a great site, just made my contribution. It sure won't be as much fun to build the stagecoach without the input and banter that one finds here....Oh well.....

Script Posted April 17, 2013 Author #39 Posted April 17, 2013 (edited) Thanks Mick, And welcome aboard! A big difference between the Lee and the Spirit is the scale....at 1/160 it's quite small. There are a number of Spirit build logs here...you probably found them already.... Looking forward to your build log. Part of the fun is the comments, suggestions and just plain baloney that one can share with others during a build. Sad to say I had just cleaned up all my build pics from 2011 before the data loss. The ones I've posted here go only back to 2012. As for the move, we are now moving out of our 'camp site' so the remodeling can start. We will be staying in my in-laws home until it's over. I'm hoping to finish this build there...with a table set up in the garage or somewhere.....
