London_lighterman:
Hello all.
I thought I would say hello and an idea I have for a project.
My time as a model engineer has produced a few things and a considerable amount of swarf and some perfectly good scrapped bits laying in the box.
Having a local model engineering club allows me to be among likeminded "nutters" but a great source of experience and suggestion.

Attached is an idea for a model, I remember these winches still running on some of the older ships and have fond memories of working "under the hook" as we referred to it in my profession.

My interest is a very broad church be it on wheels, the water of screwed down and going round. I have avoided models the take off turning 100's of hours of work into a kit really doesn't send me!

Welcome to the group! Lots of us likeminded nutters here!  :Lol:
I have the same catalog that Hyde winch picture is from, lots of great information in there. I also got interested in them after seeing similar ones on a Liberty Ship in Baltimore. It would make a great model!

Welcome to the group.

I had an opportunity to purchase a hoist one time.
It was sitting by the side of the road in front of an equipment company.
It was not in particulary good condition, and they wanted $750.00, which was quite a bit of money in the early 70's, so I did not get it.

Very nice choice for a model build, in my opinion.

I found some hoist images in an Audel's book.
I will start a thread an post a few.
