Sutton Dock

The camera can be very unforgiving! I love the prototype, will you be building a fleet of barges?

Yes, it certainly can be! I hope some weathering and all the extras will hide the deficiencies in my capabilities.

 

I'm not sure about a fleet! I have been looking for something to use as a basis for these types of barges but haven't found anything yet. 

its looking very good to me, keep up the good work

Thanks Paul!

Very nice to see this. I have often looked at this photo and been tempted to model it. Great to see it done.

 

I looked into cheap 4mm barges some time ago. Anyscale Models might be worth a look. Their website is here:

They also have an ebay site: https://www.ebay.co.uk/str/ANYSCALE-MODELS?_trksid=p2047675.l2563

Tack så mycket Mikkel. 

 

I like the dumb barge on their webpage.

I need a goods and grain warehouse for Lugsdale road, I have a great idea BUILD IT FOR ME:)

i built a model of it quite a while ago in 00 gauge 3ft long ,18 inches wide, then i invested in 2 Survey of London books & found that it was about 6 inches short. I lost it in my divorce but that is life.
