I got the two "cars" for the Marine Railway built last night ! I found two N scale passenger trucks, with metal wheels ( these measure 18" Dia. in HO, and look good under the cars, even with the 10' gauge of the track.
I have to get out and buy some high speed CD, R/W, disks before I can get pictures posted, and there's still some small details that have to be built and added, before painting.
I also need to build the winch, and rig the cable that controls the cars.
Paint, RUST ( it's salt/fresh mixed water ), and a set of cradles that the "Pilot Schooner" can rest on ( it will fit on the cars ! ) :o
Then the cradles for the 66' yacht that will be the "displayed vessel".
The two cars are joined by a 7" dia., 16' long, steel pipe, the total length will be 55'.

We always learn far more from our own mistakes, than we will ever learn from another's advice.
The greatest place to live life, is on the sharp leading edge of a learning curve.
Lead me not into temptation.....I can find it myself!
