Hello Andrew; I found this 1/72 scale paper freighter on-line some time ago, planning to get one as background for my dock scene. http://scalescenes.com/products/T030-Cargo-Ship If I have the room, I'll use extra parts to make the ship larger with a center bridge. If no, if will server as is. You can print it at 1/72 and it will probably work, or enlarge to true S scale size (try that a resin kit!).

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 Alex Binkley ________________________________ To: [email protected]: [email protected]: Sat, 27 Jul 2013 22:47:57 -0400Subject: {S-Scale List} Dock [2 Attachments][Attachment(s) from ANDREW BAIRD included below] Good evening! 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.
