   Algon —
   
   I really love what you did with your tug and the scratch-built train barge — they look incredibly realistic. Did you follow any blueprints for your barge, or was it entirely your own design?
   
   I’m asking because I’m looking for 1:24 barge blueprints to build one for my Juanita. I know New Port Crown Model from China has a very nice barge, but the tariffs make it too expensive to import. So I’d like to scratch-build one using a good set of plans.
   
   Any recommendations or advice would be greatly appreciated.
   
   Thanks — Julian 😎

   ....Maybe N scale would be better!

   Its interesting how modelers from different interests also have a fascination with the boating world. In my earlier days, I too had interest in model railroading, and wanted to build a layout with a working car float. But alas, time, money and space were the limiting factors, that gave way to raising a family.
   
   I remember seeing a picture of a rail car ferry in a book about the Southern Pacific Railroad. This ferry ushered cars across the Mississippi river in New Orleans before there were any bridges across the river.
   
   This may be something I might consider in the near future, say in HO scale, as a project to undertake.
