Model of Douglas Harbour, Isle of Man
Просмотров 1,2 тыс.14 лет назад
Here is film of my Douglas Harbour model when it was displayed at the Birkenhead Model Exhibition in 2009. Underneath is the trackwork seen in the other film on this page. In theory the ship goes in and out of the harbour and onto different berths. That doesn't always happen as the model is very temperamental and has a mind of its own and works when IT wants to.

A test run of the moving ship coming in and out of my Douglas Harbour layout. The ship 'sails' in and out of the harbour and docks at one of the berths.

    I travelled on the St.Eloi when it was nearly new and operated train ferries to Dunkirk. By the time it was bought by the Steam Packet it had seen better days, but the SP did a good job in refitting it. It could handle rough seas better than the current Ben but had problems in getting into Douglas harbour. I sat in Douglas waiting to board it one day, only for it to abandon entry when it was only a few hundred yards from entry into the harbour. It went all the way back to Heysham.

    Lovely trip down memory lane. I have never used the Sea Cat, seeing that footage I'm glad I haven't. I never had a bad trip on King Orry. I took to flying from Nottingham after they sold her. The Ben-My-Chree doesn't look as homely to me and family say it's not. My holiday always started when I stepped aboard. Fly is just like using a bus, not nearly as much fun.

    • @ianwelburn5158
      @ianwelburn5158 7 лет назад

      Nicola Thomas the Sea Cat was not made for sailing on choppy seas. I was on it from Liverpool once when it was choppy, it rolls from side to side and comes down with a bang when waves catch it underneath, nearly everyone was seasick. When it was choppy the Mona Queen , which is docked in this video, would be pressed into the Liverpool route.

    • @MrHeesbeen
      @MrHeesbeen 6 лет назад

      With only two passenger vessels, you would think that the company would have chosen both vessels with better durability and seakeeping qualities.

    I sailed on the King Orry in a strong gale. She handled it very well unfortunately though when we arrived at Heysham and commenced our turn in the harbour we collided with the Merchant Bravery which was berthed at the neighbouring link span.

    I am sorry that they did'nt have camcorders back in the 60's. So i could've seen the last trams running in Glasgow, as i just missed the last one to run. The Glasgow city Council were going to bring the trams back to Glasgow, but it never happened, due the fact that Scotland got it's own parliament.And it was'nt in their best interests to give Glasgow tram cars.
