Narrow Boats

[steamyjim]

Just doing a bit of research for the planned canal on the WLR.

I have downloaded 'Grumpfuttocks' programme of the internet that scales down measurments but need to get the measurments first!

I currently know the width of the boat to be between 60' and 70' and the width between 6'-7'. But need the other measurements. Can anyone help please???

Done it! The old iron workings are early 18th century but still in use. I have made up a history that allow's that. The track exiting bottom left should go double track as the top is but i forgot I shall probably end up changing the winding engine to a more ramshackle affair rather more like they Hays incline at Blist's Hill

Here you go...

ive made a phone call and some nice men in white coats are going to come and see you. IT looks an amazing project Jim but cant help with the dimensions

personally I think you'd be best getting some track laid first.

Over the winter and early spring I can't make any progress on track laying as were clearing out the other shed into this one so we can re-roof it. What I intend to do is model making ei build the coal mine or the inclined planes. I can make it and just drop it in...and it's pretty much free as I have it all at home

How talls a cornish engine house?

Here is the incline plane (with no incline!) for the boats.

Not finished yet though.

Ah, I saw someone from Bristol had been to the site, now I know who it was

That's a great project you have there Jim. I have been looking around for more details, but am sorry to say I cannot help you with the other dimensions.
