Here are some on Amazon with a remote. https://a.co/d/dAwlqKf Edited January 13 by John Ruy Ian_Grant, Keith Black and Canute 2 1 Gallery Photos of My Charles W Morgan Currently working on New Bedford Whale Boat

Keith Black Posted 14 hours ago #250 Posted 14 hours ago The deck looks great and it's nice to see the winch in place, John. Seems like a long time ago when you built that winch.

John John: We just got out of 3 weeks of -30c and its now a balmy -20c. we have been getting a lot of snow as well. I think the system that is moving through your end of the country was what we got a few weeks ago.. its nasty.. we are back to our more seasonable temperatures... 🙂 Love the work you are doing on the SS Klondike. Not too many people take on building a model of the paddlewheelers up here.. its sad that we only have two left as the others have succumbed to fire or mother nature. My personal favourite was the SS Klondike (the boat on the right in the attached picture). She was on the Whitehorse waterfront until the 1970s when she was burned down with the Casca.
