Chris' Build of a Lombard Hauler Engine

[Kim]

Very cool, Chris!

The Flying sub gave me flash backs!  Had anybody made the Seaview for it to dock in?

There were two seaviews there, one was about 6 or 7 feet long! I have a kit for one, not built yet. I won one of the Moebius flying sub kits in the raffle the first day. Moebius models makes a couple versions of the Seaview, I have their 39-inch kit. Other makers have made them lots bigger, usually in fiberglass. Most of the subs there this week were in the 3'-4' range, smallest was about a foot long - tight space for a radio and motor. My Delphin minisub is 19" long, the Alfa 49".

One of the Canadian guys was launching missles from his boomer, from underwater! Small Estes-type rocket motors in a molded shell. The hatches on the deck open, underneat the rocket is in a waterproof cover, fires up out of the water, another 20-30 feet in the air. Very cool. Others have compressed-air or co2 powered torpedoes, none fired this week.

Any of those subs have working torpedos?

Maybe you could make one powered by steam.

Nice pictures and looks like a great time was had by all. Thanks for posting.

None that day, but there are ones that run off co2 cartridges. Kevin launched a few volleys of missiles from his boomer.

Very cool Chris. Any chance of some videos?

Once I retire, I'll have to come up sometime and join you and your elves antics.
Maybe bring some of T's cookies so you know what a real cookie is.

I didn't take any videos this time, too busy running my subs - was in ghe water pretty much all day long. Others were videoing, including one guy from a quadcopter, will post links when they come around.


So, are you coming to see my antics or the elves antics?! We do egg each other on a lot...   


Just realized that the steam pageant in Canandaigua starts tomorrow, am going Thursday morning. More fun!

That would be the main elf of course. 
Any link to Canandaiqua? I have no idea what that is.

Here it is, its at the north end of the lake, couple miles south of the NY thruway. Great event, lots of traction engines trundling around, early gas and Diesel tractors, farm and construction equipment. Big flea market and displays of small engines, some models too. They have a big stationary engine and usually a shingle mill and saw mill.

That looks like a HUGE showgrounds Chris. Would take a few days just to get around it all

Its definitely doable in a day, unless you go through all the tractors in detail. Logs of walking, but weather looks good for it.

One of the guys posted this great collection of pictures of the Carmel submarine run.
