Thanks, Jim, for the links.
Some of their models would make dandy little steamers.

Here are some hulls in my "collection."
They are from kits once made by Maritime Art.
They are nice resin castings,
but not exactly what I am looking for to make that little steamer.

That Link had some nice little ships, the great lakes fishing boat was spot on,
for the ones used by Severtsons fisheries for Smelt in lake superior.
( don't ask how I know that, I was young once LOL )
Modified it might make a nice little ferry...

Thanks, Todd, for sending the links.
I modeled boats, before I crashed model airplanes, before I modeled trains.

Fifty years ago, my first project in HOn30,
was to make some passenger cars.
I started with MDC Overton cars,
and cut a section out of the middle of the car to narrow it.
This involved cutting the body, under frame, and roof.
As I remember I used 'Grandt Line' trucks under them.
I found a few of these Overton cars at a show a few years ago,
and bought them, thinking I would try again.
When the Mini-Trains cars became available,
I put the project way on the back burner.
I wish I had kept the originals.

That kit is still listed under their steam boats.
I guess it is still available.
I have a great book on the steamships of Maine's Cosco Bay,
and I am familiar with the Sabino.
Thanks for the links.

Because I would like to model the 1920s in HOn30,
I am always on the lookout for suitable vehicles.
There does not seem to be much available today.
Jordan kits were nice, but they are no longer available.
I found some strange, bagged kits at a show a few years ago,
but don't know the manufacturer.
Some trucks I found in England years ago are nice,
but a bit oversize for HO.
