Of course you could build your own trailer and trolly.
This one is for 1:100 Missouri, QE2 and QM2 (3.6 metres long)

It's been a while  {-)  BUT I now have a transporter.
A converted newspaper cart.
I should also be able to launch and retrieve it with this.
It also folds  :-))

I've searched eBay and cannot find one like this and unusually mine has no model markings on it.

"The Range" had these folding things they called 'festival carts' Today for about £40. Nice soft sides and good squidgy tyres.

Hi Tug, Thats the one i have bought, folds up into a small size, also altered mine, removed the "bag" and added a ply platform so my smaller boats don't fall through, depending on parking i can have a 1/2 mile walk to the lakeside, can now take a few boats to sail instead of struggling with one

I found out why there are no PENN identification marks on the reel  {-)
I took it off to fit the new one and on the back of the mount is says made in Japan. So its a lookey likey  ;D

My trolley above for the Athon is not suitable for the Portgarth and not good on rough ground either.


My stand that I put together for its construction is so robust I figured I could evolve it into a cart and later make another stand for display/storage.


These are barrow wheels off eBay.
I've used 20mm conduit for the axle and 25mm conduit for the keel line tube that will after tomorrow accommodate a slide in handle. Just need a leg under the front.

Thanks Paul. I'm quite chuffed with it  O0
I'm going to give it a paint job ,probably Royal blue and I have some BIG Portgarth stickers for the sides  {-)


A grip for the handle is the only problem as the tube will be 20mm. Bikes start at 25.4  {:-{

What about something like fishing rod shrink wrap it's a thin rubber that is quite grippy in differant diameters that you can just cut to length, something like this (but local tackle shop has probably got some https://www.ebay.co.uk/i/361364301053?chn=ps&dispItem=1&adgroupid=46622246639&rlsatarget=pla-369907351582&abcId=1128946&adtype=pla&merchantid=7267454&googleloc=1006565&device=c&campaignid=857250873&crdt=0&var=630707264710
