Try contacting them directly telling them what it is you are making and ask for the information being sought. Generally Dumas kits are not accurately researched, they are a generalization of a vessel. It’s up to yhe model builder to conduct their own research if accuracy is important to their work.

Include in your email a couple close-up photos of the plan sheet with the difference clearly indicated. Use the:
info@foss.com

Let me know how you make out with your request.

Shelley Foss Tugboat

The Shelly Foss company has tugboats in various locations on the northwest coastal waters. Is there a specific tugboat you are building which is currently in their fleet?

Is it working out of Seattle? Tacoma? Everett? Bellingham? Olympia or other ports?

Thanks Dave M & Chris Lang.
What a fantastic resource this website is! Your replies are safely stored in my "Model Boat" file, and have given me the confidence that in due course I can overcome the hydrant challenge, and get plenty of advice when I need it.
Thanks again.

HI Roger
Robbe sell working fire hydrants that work quite well. You may need to restrict your pump as the pressure will be quite high and I have had problems with the pump separating on occasion. Really depends on the scale you need to use. in essence the workings are a bit of bent pipe and a fine jet. The mount and body can be made from plasticard and old biro's etc. There have been Forum posts on home made fire hydrants so I suggest you have a scout through the build blogs on thios site.
Live long and prosper

Working Hydrant

HI all - new boy on the block here.

I am returning to model boat building as a retirement, get me out of the better half's hair hobby, and am considering a fireboat or similar. The problem which I am looking at Is how to make or buy a working hydrant. I can do the pump etc, but the metalwork needed to make a realistic looking hydrant from scratch Is beyond me. I want something reasonably powerful.
All Ideas and thoughts gratefully received.
RogerS.
