Hi Andrew:On a whim I built one of the Sylvan HO tramp steamers (well its partly done) and it could pass for S. It's huge needless to say and would take a lot of layout space. Sylvan has a number of HO scale ships and other companies have them as well.cheers

Finally have some track laid and now looking for some details to add. Anyone know of any large dockside cranes available to add to the dock to use for loading ships? I assume there is no large ships available in 1/64. Need to build the dock scene around the tracks. Looking for any ideas and what anyone has done or know of a scratchbuilder who builds these. I built it up on 2" foam and plan to add the pilings along the edge of the foam for the edge of the piers. Obviously long way to go and lots of scenes to add all over the layout. Attached is one type of crane used to load ore into the boats. The other cranes appear to be just the basic large booms. Other attachment is a view of one area of the dock. Same concept but I am modeling a more modern era.
