N gauge wharf and harbour

[Sunray]

I was surfing American N gauge sites- enjoying the eye candy of big layouts featuring harbour and wharf  dioramas.  Northeastern Scale Models 'Sam Cahoon's Fish Pier'
is a classic.  And in  HO simply enjoy Fos Red Hook Wharf ....

I was thinking, what about a Bruneval style raid.  A new WW2 radar station or AVBCW version of the Eagle has landed...the country house  inland and a harbour like that one in the N gauge diorama.....

I suppose it comes from boyhood days of  looking at pristine  railway layouts in shop windows and thinking " I would love to take a  squadron of tanks  up that nice main street....."

Found a neat N gauge tugboat on my wanderings ..

Ian - the tugboat I saw was at   www.modeltechstudios.com    Then click on waterfront  

It is part of their waterline series.  £16 + postage.

The Fos eyecandy (in HO scale) is www.foslimited.com and click on waterfront . Inspiring stuff. The clip  teaching video ion painting water is educational -Mod Plodge that's what I need.

I would love to build something a little bit like it in 1/150

Hello Sunray

Gramodels also do a Clyde Puffer for £15.

Paper Shipwrights have free paper models for piers, quays and seawalls which need to be scaled up by 1.66666 for 1/150.

Some of the Japanese stuff like Tomytec could be used with a change of signage:-
