Circa. 1960 M.E. ran a series of articles on building the Moorcock tug. Does anyone know who has the plans and the size of the steam plant in both scales e.g. Stuart 10v or double 10v?

There is a response to a reader’s enquiry in ME Vol. 131 (1965) page 191 as follows:

You do not say whether you prefer a petrol or a steam plant or at what scale you propose to build Moorcock. A 5-10cc petrol engine will drive a 1/4in scale model and a suitable steam plant is The Trojan M6 in the Plans Catalogue or the Stuart 10V.

For the larger scale model you could use a 15-30cc petrol engine, the Warrior steam engine (M7) or the Stuart Double 10V.

As for plans, this site: http://www.scalehobbies.net/id3.html is listing a fibreglass hull and plans at 1/32nd scale for Moorcock (£55). Don’t know if it is the same boat, but might be a good place to start.

Have just spotted that ‘myhobbystore.com’ also list plans at two different scales for a tug called Moorcock! Link to plans catalogue on this page at right hand side.
