For sale Is my coal barge, ready to run, all you need Is water.
The barge Is 40 Inches long by 12 Inches wide and weighs In at 12.5 Kg. fully ballasted. It can be sailed on Its own, towed by a tug or tow a barge Itself.
Driven by two 555 motors with a 15amp Mtronics speed controller, two 6v 7 amp hr batteries coupled to give 12v, (will run for hours) (the big battery Is ballast) twin 3 blade 50mm props, twin rudders, all controlled with a 27mgc two channel radio complete with crystals, batteries and even a flag
On the barge Is a hand carved dingy (not by me) a bicycle, a tool box with opening lid and tools and rope Inside and a fellow stood standing, the hold Is full of coal, none of your painted stones on this barge. 😁 There are bollards all round, a tow hook on the stern and tow ropes. The roof of the wheelhouse will come off so that more detailing can be added If you wish.
The barge sails well In all weathers with more than adequate speed and a very good turning circle, having a flat bow with rubber fender It also makes a good recovery vessel
