All of the narrow boats and barges in the range are based on a 45-foot hull, available in N and OO.
The N Gauge ones are cast from white metal and the OO Gauge are cast from resin and white metal with some photo etched detail. Both are available as kits or fully painted and assembled.
For the N gauge model, the kit version contains two white metal parts: the main hull and body of the boat, plus the tiller. In OO, the kit contains the main hull and body in one resin piece, with a white metal tiller and photo-etched window frames. The boats are available in several colours, in the painted format.
The Accommodation Narrow Boat (pictured above): This is a typical boat seen on many, if not all, of the country's canals. Ideal for layouts showing industrial or rural scenes.
The Empty Barge: This is ideal for industrial scenes and/or rural scenes, the modeller can add any load to the barge that is appropriate for the scene.
The Coal Barge: This barge is fully loaded with coal. Again, suitable for industrial scenes and/or rural scenes.
The Building Supplies Barge: This is a narrow boat loaded with planks of wood, oil can, etc., which can be seen floating down canals. This is ideal for industrial scenes and/or rural scenes.
Covered Barge: This is a model of a covered barge, again suitable for all types of layout with a canal on it.
The barges are priced as follows:
N Gauge
Kit £7.95
Painted £13.95
OO Gauge
Kit £19.95
Painted £39.95
