Sorry to double post:
I have 30 cars here in Canada, in England I have at least 70, so that makes 100 cars or more!
I have a large amount of cars, and still getting a few more.

Bullwarks? Is that what you call the Gantry over the bow and stern of the ship?

Ahh, that's what that thing's called. What's its purpose? I've always wondered if it was to enforce height restrictions, a navigational aide or for the running lights. btw, the sponson of a ship is any structure protruding over the water, which ro-ro ferries are known for. It's the reason we get splashes like this: community.webshots.com/photo/548409070/2138997120087036356BDNKFy |

Ok, so where should the lake be? Long lake? Cowichan Lake? Or, Beaver Lake?

QT seems to like doing this...
So if I were to build a Queen of Oak Bay, what type of dimensions would I be looking at with the HO Scale type model. It's, 139.29 m (457') long.

Yikes, a bit larger than I wanted to build, lol. I was thinking maybe a foot or two, max, but not 5 Feet! Although it would be pretty awesome!

if you build it out of fibreglass. the rull would cost you approx 15$ for the resin and glass, and then however much for the wood to make the mold. thats what im doing.

Mine is just out of wood, with a hollow hull for the engine.
I noted that the Queen of Nanaimo would be 77 inches long. (192.5cm!)
But to Build the SOVI, I need more model cars, I have lots in England. Now Mum has got a job, we could be going this summer!

LOL HO Scale is bigger than people think, just seeing it as cars and trains for the most part makes it decieving. I saw a scale version of the container unloading area in downtwon Vancouver and it was MASSIVE!
