scow

[SE18]

hi garden water enthusiasts

yesterday I finished my scow. it is 1:13.7 scale and the figures are slightly big, 1:12, b/c dollhouse is much easier to find for figures

had to break the ice to get the water shot

the scow is delivered via portage railway (or marine railway) to the canal similar to how the punt is transported (in video)

Excellent job and so fun to watch it go round. Looks so real! Wonder if the little peeps enjoyed their ride. For them kinda like being in the Twilight Zone never being able to get off. Saw an episode sorta like that once on t.v

Damn! every time I see your models/trains it makes me want to start the hobby. Very nice work!

Thanks, guys. It's fun to combine 3 hobbies: trains and garden waterways and boats

just started working on a skiff

Also, regarding the portage railway, here's an old black and white prototypical photo that I based mine on
