HO-Scalers have been clamoring for these to be re-released. Too bad they aren't going to make them available for us N-Scalers. I know I would buy several car floats and docks because it would save me the trouble of having to scratch build them. Besides, I am not that good a scratch building stuff.
I have some new material coming on carfloats and the aprons they use. I've just found two books published by Morning Sun Books an New York's Harbor Railroads. I've also found a group that published a magazine called Transfer that has some useful information about the subject. Most of the old magazines are available on CD and I need to get a few of them.
I also found an O Scale article about how someone builtan actual model of the carfloat operations at Bay Ridge. It looks good though some of the instructions don't translate well from 1/48 to 1/160.
