Drifter Trawler Boat Formidable LT100

I don’t know where you live but if you are ever near Lowestoft I believe there is a model of LT 100 in the Maritime Museum along with lots of other very similar steam trawlers. Here’s a picture that just catches the funnel.

Hi Mike,

Plans are available from Model Boats Plans Service or whatever they are called now. The plans I have were drawn by John Pottinger.

There is also a book From Tree to Sea, written by Ted Frost which I have found invaluable.

If you have old Model Boats Magazines in the April and May 1993 editions there is the original article written by John Pottinger.

I hope this helps.

Cheers,
Stephen.

Hi Mike, not quite a MH Formidable LT100, but quite close a Mountfleet Dannyboy, LT53, with TVR 1A engine, and 3 1/2" Dia. boiler. Regards, Gary.
