Good Morning!
I have 10+ plastic parts bins full of scratch built model ship detail parts and accessories. I am looking to sell them and thought this may be a possible outlet if there are any model ship builders that are also involved with model trains. If interested, send me an email. Pictures are below.
$100 plus shipping for all plastic parts bins. PayPal only!
Model ship building is not my hobby, trains are!
Thanks,
Dennis

Post some pics. I've used stainless handrail stantions and knife switches, brass lamps and other goodies from a "junk box" of old ship parts 60s & older.
Could have used that stuff last year! 1/96 USS Olympia scratch build.
John A,
Beautiful ship model.

I spy....
Neat; "real" portholes. Those could liven up anything from cab to caboose on some tin, one offs, or fantasy styling. Maybe even look good on some of the more toyish AB diesels? (I'll detail anything, remaining scale is another story.
Some loads there if nothing else!
Oversized barrels? Then they're tanks now, make a fill top/vent & frame.
Mining, RR platform cranes, A-frame hoists etc. need Block & tackle parts/cleats. Some water/sand towers might have them too.
Crate full of pins load,or link&pin coupling extras..
Opposed pistons? or are those pumps? (still a nice load as steamboat parts, but I'm thinking makeshift vertical boiler platform engine or handcar mech. too.)
Same with the props, and vent horns, all nice loads. Small ones in crates, large fill a flat or gondola up.
Oar lock or a bell yolk? Could be on a building etc.
Collars are your tinkering buddies.
It doesn't have to be train stuff to be train modeling stuff 🙃
@Lee Willis is a very prolific model ship builder, you might drop him an email. I have no idea if he'd be interested, but he's certainly in the wheelhouse. 
Ron H, thanks . Fun summer break from trains. Real ship still exists, in Philadelphia. JohnA
