Ook 1:250 en hoe lang heb je daaraan gebouwd Armin?

Hi Armin,
it's a great job you've done . I like this marvelous design of the LMG built sisters ISERLOHN and MARBURG. I think, there was a third vessel which looks very similar to the other both ships. Her name was CLARITA SCHRÖDER. This one had a different cargo gear (A-mast derrick).

Many thanks Arne. You are right. Sistership of the Iserlohn was the Marburg, both were built by Orenstein & Koppel, Lübeck in 1958.

In the end not satisfied with te performance of my tiny tanker. The rubber coupling between motor and propellershaft too weak and a noisy motor. So the 1200Kv motor installed in combination with a modified Marx coupling. The dual rate function on the transmitter keeps the motor in the right revs. Better performance now. The extra power is still available by using the dual rate switch. Rgds. Klaas.

Great job Klaas

Hi Klaas,
it looks very good! I think, you'll be satisfied with this solution .

At the moment, I electrify my coaster HOHEBURG. I think, your suggestion to do it was the right intention.



I've got a little problem, maybe somebody can help? I'm looking for a general arrangement of Gebr. Sander/ Delfzijl built coasters AXEL or NOORDERKROON. Is there somebody who can organize some plans about these vessels?

Hello Arne,
Nice to see that you took the challenge for lighting your model Hoheburg. I use a CTI switch enabling 4 separate actions via 1 channel on the RC set.
May be it's an option to contact the Noordelijk Scheepvaartmuseum in Groningen for the plans of Axel/Noorderkroon. There is the archive of Conoship and other previous shipyards. Probably they can help. They were very cooperative to deliver plans for my tiny coaster Arnafjord in the right size 1:50. Unfortunately one of their volunteers passed away recently.
Searched my mailbox for correspondence to get a name, but that's gone. Found it in one of my comments. Koos de Jong.
Another option is directly to Shipyard Niestern/Sander at Delfzijl. Good luck. Regards, Klaas.

Hi Klaas,
many thanks for your quick reaction. Maybe the museum could help. I think it's the right adress to ask for the plans.

I know the CTI switches. They're very good. I used some of them in the past. This time I bought a Graupner SXM modul. It's the same like CTI but it's more expensive. CTI wasn't on stock . I hope the model will be finished the next 3 weeks, because I want to make a test at the bassin of my colleague Dennis.

Hi all,
at the moment, I built the control panel for my 1/100 scale coaster HOHEBURG.

Front of the panel:



Backside:


I want to integrate it into the coaster the next days.




I hope, it'll work perfect, because on sunday the model should be docked at Dennis' pool .


The vessel should get the following functions:

1. Radar 1 on/off
2. Radar 2 on/off
3. Position lights
4. Working lights
