Hello Im trying to find out how wide the Frenchman River Modelworks 68' steam freighter is (inches please). heres a link http://www.frenchmanriver.com/frenchmanriver/HO Scale/HO Freighter/freighter.htm Also how hard was it to put together?
Alleged ship "Puffer" model A) The website gives you dimensions. B) Scot "Puffers" were not made as teeny weeny 68 footers. This kit is equivalent to 'shorty' passenger cars, et al. It makes a model that "fits" the average model railroaders amount of space that can be devoted to marine scenery features. C) Your kit building skills defines level of difficulty, not those of someone else. If you can assemble an Al Westerfield freight car kit, or are facile with: TICHY kits ; ARTITEC resin boat or building kits; or even a wooden AMERICAN BUILDER's station - then you have the patience and thoroughness to build these kits into fine models. Just remember to have appropriate adhesives on hand, wash off waxes from parting molds and then dry parts, and away you go. PJB
