jaybeckham Posted August 26, 2020 Share #234 Posted August 26, 2020 Kevin, the ship really looks good. And I love the fact you built it in 1:48 scale which is the same scale I model trains in. My S.S. District of Columbia steam ship will be about 6 feet long. My main problem with it is the main deck sort of hangs out over the extremely curved hull at the bow. That will be the most challenging part of the ship to build I think. Keep up the beautiful work. Maybe some day one of the ship we sail on might actually get down your way. The closest we have ever gotten is Barbados. Once in a while these ships do call on Grenada but that is rare. Jay mtaylor 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Kenny Posted August 26, 2020 Author Share #235 Posted August 26, 2020 Hi Jay Where are you going to display the Columbia. Naparima is the largest model i made which has resulted in domestic issues. We get a few cruise ships in Tobago so you never know, if you are ever coming my way let me know and ill fly over and meet you. mtaylor 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaybeckham Posted August 27, 2020 Share #236 Posted August 27, 2020 In my basement I have my model railroad. It is all 1:48 scale. My space is 30 x 60 feet and it filled with my railroad. It is point to point so you have to follow the trains and track by walking around. It represents a fictional railroad from Pittsburgh, PA to Baltimore, Maryland. In Baltimore the fictional line shares track rights with the Pennsylvania Railroad. Also in Baltimore, which is a major seaport, is two piers. One for passenger and the other for outbound coal. The passenger pier represents the Old Bay Line which ran overnight boats (ships) from Baltimore to Washington DC and to Norfolk, Virginia. My pier for that line is about 6 feet by 1 foot so will house a water line model of the SS District of Columbia. See attached photo. Jay PS I did obtain blue prints from a local museum of the actual ship. GrandpaPhil, yvesvidal and mtaylor 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
