You're turning me green.
If you're interested in popular opinion (which I must confess I seldom am
;-) I vote for the Gloire - it seems to me that the Brickish Navy could do
with some worthy rivals (Tony?). At the moment there is only the Spanish.
Need I say more?
BTW, am hard at work on Richard II's little cog (14C) - I had to buy some
castle bits for it today. My guess is that he'll wash up in Port Block in a
couple of weeks. The new Doolittle model (Sea Princess, two decker on a
standard RBR hull) is built (and glorious), I just need to be home for a few
weekends to take some pics and etc etc etc - you know the drill. Oh, and
after picking up some straight blue rails in a trade recently, my little
twenty something year old 171 train is back out of storage and on the rails,
complete with facelift, and a twenty eight year old 4.5v motor - just too
cool ;-). The railway is coming to Port Block!

Still baldly going...
Check out Port Block at http://www.hinet.net.au/~rparsons/port/
Note the change in URL - Port Block is moving (to new and larger
accommodations)
Do adjust your set.
