Scale of K&O Boats | O Gauge Railroading On Line Forum

JdevleerjrOGR Forum Member

I am having a hard time finding any 1930's-1950's boats for a harbor scene on my layout. I did see a bunch of K&O boats on eBay and there is one in particular that I want. There is a painting my grandfather made with a boat under a rail road bridge that I want to replicate on my layout. This boat would be perfect for it if it is the right scale. It doe not have to be be an exact scale, but something close.

Here is the link to the auction. ebay boat

Way to big , looks like a 20-25 ft prototype , so O scale 4-6 inch , you might could go up to 8 inches . Maybe a toy boat and then weather and paint , detail .

This boat would be 60 feet long in 1:48 scale.
