My other hobby is OO Scale model railways, (in between finishing my Lindberg Destroyer, Model Slipways Lifeboat and Trumpter Bismark!), and I am currently planning a new layout which will include a harbourside section.
As a centrepeice I would like to include a period small Coaster, moored to the dockside, and I'm looking for a suitable project to either construct from a kit, (If there are any out there!), or scratchbuild. The scale is , of course, 1/76th. If anyone has any suggestions as to a suitable craft I would be most grateful. The model only needs to be waterline and it needs to be inexpensive...I love the Dean's Marine offerings but although they make great R/C boats are a little overkill for my requirements.
There are 1/76th Canal boat kits out there which are very good and suitable for canal scenes, but not for harbours.
Regards
Alan
