Perhaps will you recognize lakes where theay navigate.

Thank you Raphael for the informations - I have checked some movies and websites
also yours from the model club. I live in the opposite Side of Switzerland on
Lake of Constanze and Gerald/Gilbert in the French Region. I have seen movie pictures from "le lac de joux"
wich is very close to France.
Bonne nuit et meilleurs salutations de la Suisse allemande, Arnold

You did well to save the tachometer. I think the idea of giving the part a function again by means of an electric motor and gearbox is very good. ::)

Good Sunday morning to ALL - Have a Curiosity to look at:

This is the real tachometer from the Steam ship Town off Zürich.
When the ship was modernized I could save the trip counter from scrapping.
It has been cut out from the sheet metal wall.
The friction wheel touched the crankshaft and indicated the number of revolutions. I use a small electric motor with a gearbox to drive it.

Enjoy, Arnold
