The second of two boats I picked up at the Dollar General store near my house. This would have made for a great accessory had I went ahead with my initial planes for included a stretch of the Milwaukee River flowing through the downtown area of my train layout. As it is though, there just wasn't any room left on the layout for a scene like that. Be Blessed and Relish Life! Ed
Here's a cool boat I picked up about 4-5 years ago at the Dollar General store down the block from my house. These photos were taken just a few days ago, so this thing is still in its original packaging. When building my Milwaukee North Western train layout, I had initially planned on simulating the Milwaukee River which intersects Wisconsin Ave. in the downtown area at a right angle. These boat would have been perfect for such a scene. Alas, I just didn't have room on my layout for that feature so the boats remain ensconced in there paper and plastic cocoons. The boat measures: 9.25" (23.49cm) L x 2.875" (7.30cm) W x 3.5" (8.89cm) H. Be Blessed and Relish Life! Ed
