Description

HO 1:87 Scale 169’ 2 Track Station Float

designed and produced by James and Anna Cleveland

The kit's actual size is 167' long, 39' wide, 5' 3" freeboard (approx.) and 16' distance from center line to center line of the track at the bow. It features a welded steel hull and will accommodate 6, 40' rail cars (3 per side).

Our kit consists of highly detailed resin castings featuring scale weld lines, scuttle hatches, cleat bases, rail chairs and toggle pockets already cast in place. The parts in this kit require very little cleanup allowing quick assembly time.

Also included is an easily assembled, highly detailed platform that may be built with or without the included roof. Additional parts include lead-free Britannia metal cleats and bridge hooks along with resin tire bumpers, resin track bumpers, rope and chain allow you to build an accurate model of a very recognizable, everyday element of water front operations

Looks great with one of our 92' Diesel Railroad Tugboats or 92' Steam Railroad Tugboats pushing it!

*Please Note:

This kit does not come with rail as many modelers have their preference in rail size. Your rail preference can be easily glued in place. There are rail chair details in the casting to simulate a realistic installment. This station float is compatible with code 100 or code 83, or with some slight modification even smaller rail.
This 2 Track Station Float is designed to match up with Frenchman River Model Works Pontoon Float Bridge. We built this kit according to the information we had and do not guarantee compatibility with other kit manufacturer’s bridges.
