Hello from Pennsylvania

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.

Thanks,

MCB

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.
