I have a boat ramp going into my harbor. I am modeling the 1950's so I had a hard time finding a suitable boat on a trailer. I did find one made by Brooklyn. I will post photos later this week.
Yup, Getting stuff that looks proper for the early 50's is tough.
I will be more specific;
Getting stuff that is scaled to 1:48 or 1:50 is tough. (exception, military items)
I find 1:43 to be way too big in most cases.
It is very easy to find 1:43 vehicles for the '50s but difficult to find other stuff - from telephone booths and post-office boxes that are correct for the time to boats and trailers, etc. I'm not sure why there are so many cars and trucks and not other stuff. Regardless, I had to make some scratch-built period boats(card stock, etc.) for my lake and fishing pier, but that was fun.
I'm planning on doing something similiar as well.
It's fairly easy to find late 60's/early 70's stuff. Here are some of my campers:

I'm looking for 90s up. Stuff we might see now or I might have seen when I started driving in 96. Thanks for all the help.
Here what I could find for a 50's boat on a trailer. It is made by brooklyn.
I also plan to buy some of the post war remakes for the boat loader and repaint them and detail them for my harbor. I will also cut the hull so they are water line.
