HO Scale Lifeboats (and some larger vessels, too)

[JaBear]

Gidday Frank, most of the ferries that run between New Zealands North and South Island are run by New Zealand Rail, or whaever the current name at the time was,  and though I have crossed Cook Strait a number of times I have never really taken much notice of how the freight cars were loaded,   except that they were first, then trucks, cars,  motorcycles, then whoever if there was spare space.
Next time I will pay attention.
EDIT: In restoring the photos, and in particular, the external links, I find that after 6 1/2 years some are no longer available, so I will note where there have been changes, like this links. Which in someways are more appropriate...
