mcb Posted December 7, 2020 Share #1 Posted December 7, 2020 Hello all, I am a model railroader who stumbled onto this site looking for ship fittings. I found that I could not stop looking through the incredible work here. My train layout has been getting dusty. I am currently building model railroad related equipment and vessels (all in 1:160) for New York harbor pre '60's. On my bench now is the floating grain elevator 'Isis'. It is being built from photos in styrene. I hope to start a build log for it soon, if there would be interest in such an ungainly tub. It certainly would be unique. And of course at the last train show I attended I could not walk by a table where there was an old ('80's ?) AL Bluenose II at a price not to be refused, naturally missing the instructions. I have the hull done on that but I am told I must get going on the NY harbor things first. Sorry I did not join in sooner. I've been hanging around for months.

mtaylor Posted December 7, 2020 Share #4 Posted December 7, 2020 Welcome to MSW, MCB. As for a build log, I'd say go for it. We are seeing several builds of unusual watercraft in the scratch area.
