John Ratzenberger Posted July 30, 2023 #1 Posted July 30, 2023 Subject says it all. I'd prefer OO scale or N scale but can rescale PDF plans. It is not for a model railroad but I have a few kits by Scale Scenes and would like to continue the British waters theme. I have wandered the online shops with no luck. Thanks in advance, John Ratzenberger thibaultron and mtaylor 2
Charter33 Posted July 30, 2023 #2 Posted July 30, 2023 Hi John, Not sure if this will meet your needs as it's not card, but Sarikhobbies in the UK produce 00 scale sailing barge kit. It's the only model of this type of craft that I have found that's not 1:48 or 1:67 scale. They also have several plan sets for sailing barges that you might be able to use. The Thames Sailing Barge Trust is another source for scale drawings. Here is a link (hopefully!) to Sariks .... https://www.sarikhobbies.com/product/thames-sailing-barge-oo-gauge/ They do sell through their ebay shop I believe, but I've always gone through their .com site. I too have spent some time researching this topic, sailing barges being a favourite of mine. I was hoping to find something scaled at 1.64 but have had to resort to draughting my own. Cheers, Graham mtaylor and thibaultron 2
amateur Posted July 30, 2023 #3 Posted July 30, 2023 The only one I can find is an oldie: micromodels from London had a barge and a natrow boat. basis, dmall, no clue about scale, and rather expensive as Micromodels are only available second hand, or via the webshop-cowboys… Jzn thibaultron and mtaylor 2

John Ratzenberger Posted August 7, 2023 Author #5 Posted August 7, 2023 (edited) Graham, Jzn, Bill ... Thank you for the info and I would like to apologize for the delay in acknowledging it. I have one of the MicroModel kits due in. I have seen both the Sarik & Billings kits, but I have enough un-built wood around here as is. Again, thank you for your replies !

John Ratzenberger Posted August 10, 2023 Author #6 Posted August 10, 2023 Well, the MicroModel showed up - it is about 1:200-225 scale, quite small. It looks like a good card kit but I think I'll order a Sarik kit also - I completely missed where Graham mentioned OO scale. It appears to be vacform, but my feet aren't dry Charter33, mtaylor and thibaultron 3
Jsk Posted January 7, 2024 #7 Posted January 7, 2024 Very late to this post but would the following be of any use? https://www.kallboys.de/mondorfer-bastelboegen?start=60 . I'm not familiar with river barges but the Aalschokker Maria Theresia looks similar to my unpracticed eye. mtaylor and thibaultron 2 --jeff In Process: USS Baltimore 1/200 Card, Skipjack Kathryn 1/72 Card (scratch build) Completed Builds: Slavic (Viking) Longship 1/72 (Falconet), US Revenue Cutter 1/72 Card (Seahorse),
