The Seahorse Marine Diesel Duck by Capital City Yacht Sales #2

The Seahorse Marine Diesel Duck. Inspired by the Pacific Northwest salmon trollers, the Diesel Duck concept became a reality in the mid-1990s, with a custom order by a couple who got tired of the crammed live-abord sailboat concept. They hired renowned yacht designer George Buehler to build a new, rugged cruiser that would serve them wonderfully at sea, and comfortably while at dockside. Trollers, not Trawlers George first looked at the the fishing trawlers, the net-hauling bulldozers of the sea, discounting their bulkiness in favor of another salmon fishing boat, the troller. Trollers, on the otherhand, have more efficient hulls and use fuel more efficiency. That's because they need to cover more water looking for fish without nets, using instead, hooks and lines trailing aft (troller fishermen supply most of the salmon to restaurant and supermarket distributors, because their fish are not scarred by net marks). As a side note, the Diesel Duck experiences a misnomer of sorts even today, as they are placed in the "Trawler" class. Capturing the Character of the Pacific Northwest Trollers meet the same criteria as a cruising boat. The vessile must be safe, comfortable for at least two people, and be able to cruise long distances over choppy not-so-friendly waters at times. So George just designed a sort of overweight steel hull troller, a diesel yacht under 40-feet with livable space and a pilothouse that captured the the pilothouse character of NW salmon boats.

Washington, PA, PA Trolley Museum - Oldest Operating Diesel in the US

PA Trolley Museum, Sunday, November 2nd. The old Armco Steel switching locomotive, which is the oldest operating diesel locomotive in the US was getting fired up to keep the seals lubricated. The locomotive was built in the 30's and operated at the Butler Armco steel plant until around 1967 when it was donated to the museum. The locomotive is coming off the connection to the old Chartiers Branch of the PRR now operated by the P&OC. It was a short trip but nice to see this old lady in action, the sight, the sound, that oil and diesel smell. There is nothing like it.
