Lehigh Valley diesel-electric tug Hazleton, built in the late 1940s for carfloat service in the New York City area and one of six modern post-war...
This is the way the carfloat module looks. The "water" is dark-tinted Envirotex.
An old Athearn ice bunker reefer is ready to be pulled from the carfloat.
I just kind of liked the way this picture came out. I used nautical model rigging for the line. The seaman model is from Preiser, with some...
The carfloat module is a separate unit, so it can be used as a cassette.
The Walthers carfloat apron is almost done. There are only a couple of more details.
I've got the base painted, and the carfloat is in place with a few freight cars on it. There's no Envirotex yet for the water.
Here, I've got the carfloat base in place. I painted a bit around the edges, but I haven't finished that yet.
This is another in-progress shot, but I like how it came out with a couple of guys on deck. The Envirotex hasn't been poured yet, and I don't...
This is the carfloat perched on it's base. The base is foam with a Masonite fascia. The base has been painted, but the Envirotex...
I scratchbuilt the metal bulkheads with styrene, to roughly match those on the carfloat apron. The Brass Rat is a bar and pool hall.
These are the Tichy 40-foot flatcars I use as idlers so the locomotives don't have to trespass on the carfloat apron, just off the picture in the...
I added a Walthers fire escape to the mill building. I didn't use the lowest of the platforms or the lower stairway, because the building just...
The scenery in Mooseport is nearly complete. The old mill canal runs through a maze of brick structrues. Brother Elias's mission is on the left,...
The whole scene needs some leveling and shimming so that the approach track, apron and carfloat are all flat and level, but I staged this shot to...
I will probably cut the foam down a bit, so it's closer to the shelf size and easier to get past.
This is about the position the fold-down shelf will be in when the carfloat is "in port."
The benchwork is hinged so that I can fold it down for access to the area behind.
This is just sitting there, like the rest of this photo opportunity. I was lucky enough to score the Walthers carfloat and apron kits when they...
The apron base sits on the lower foam step, and the bridge is secured at the far end, meeting the two branches of the wye turnout. The bridge has...
