Cornwell model boats. krick has release a new stock last week

I have one down Bristol area

Harbor Models still sell them but be prepared to pay top dollar,cost me $400 for the kit but found the monitor kit for $15 from a flea market

HI Derek
Plenty of ideas there I'll keep them in mind

cheers

HI Dave
Found them at Steve's (Skem) there Torpedo belt drive 1/4 shaft.
I've made a note of the address thanks

cheers

HI Dragon
If you are looking for toothed belts and drive gear you could try Technobots.http://www.technobotsonline.com/
They stock a good range of all types.

MFA used to do nice Olympus 2:1 toothed belt drives, but no longer. I have a set in a Rother class, nice engine Sound. SHG models sell the belts and pulleys, had thought of those.
Also there was one on direct drive for sale on here, I asked what the motors were and got no reply. if I get it wrong I can reduce the speeds on my Spectrum transmitter to compensate.

back to the drawing board for me
thanks for the info I'll let you know what I decide
I can start building its not a problem, at the moment
I'm half way through building the Euro Girl so got plenty to do and it will soon be Christmas.

cheers

I've got the 12v 600 Graupner at moment, running on 12vvv with the gear reduction. So direct will be too fast

Good advice
I was thinking Graupner 600 turbo 8.4v or 9.6v
You can't get the Robbe one's I've looked everywhere

cheers

Congratulations. Now put a sign inside saying, Do not ever sell just to remind you. 😊

Mine for some reason has GRAUPNER 3:1 geared drive. its quite noisy. Thinking of going direct drive but don't know what yet.
Enjoy.

Someone did have a Dusseldorf with working monitors tucked away.
thanks Bob, and to the few who showed interest

Yes that's all correct should have said before I built one years ago with 36 channels on robbe F14 Navy and did rather a silly thing sold it at Elsmere Port two years ago
I think to a guy from Bury
A case of needs must
But thanks anyway for your reply
I just hoped someone had one tucked away in the back of the workshop.

The fitting kit for the dusseldorf consists mainly of pulleys, thread, tension springs and other bits and pieces to operate the monitors. Generally the forward monitor is operated seperately by two servos - one for rotation and the other for elevation. The rear two monitors on the cabin are arranged in the kit form to be operated in tandem by a further two servos. it then requires a 6 volt pump bought seperately or 12 if you use 12 volt electrics to feed all three units. I do have a Dusseldorf but have no intention of selling at present. You can fit quite a lot such as all lighting operating as in full size boat, radar scanner, scanning searchlight, towhook, dinghy crane, etc.,etc. Very unlikely that you would be able to find a fittings kit these days but if you can obtain a set of the plans there is sufficient detail from which to work out the servo layouts and pulley sizes required.

I thank you for your reply but rather pointless not having the monitors working it is a fire boat.
There is a fitting kit for the monitors that is used with two servo's.
cheers

Fittings kit is only a pump, and if you want an internal water supply any sealed food container will do. Unless you want them to manoeuvre. Boats that go that far tend to be hard to come by. Mine don't, but it's an "everyday" model. Good luck

Thanks just been looking found two one auction the other buy it now both are the factory build ones no fitting kits for the monitors.

There was one on eBay upto last night, of course depends where you live.
