There is also this nice kit from Five Star: USS ABSD-1 / AFDB-1 Large Auxiliary Floating Dry Dock Set http://www.findmodelkit.com/content/uss ... y-dock-setFive of this dock kit plus the Trumpeter West Virginia could be used to duplicate this photo: Best regards, Paulo Roberto p.s. Is there a source of color information for drydocks, barges and tugs, like the ones in the above photo?

Re: What kits are avaialble of "Dockyard Stuff?" |

Thanks for the source tips. I have been to the ambaile site and found a couple of photos that show portions of the cranes, but nothing with the kind of detail I'd like to have as a reference for model building. I also found a few similar sources in railway-related blogs and websites. I'm also familiar with the Kyle station museum site. I haven't yet contacted them directly, but I did have look at the photos they have posted showing the model railway layout of the pier on display there. The crane they have built looks to be a kitbash of a European N scale commercial kit and not very similar to the actual cranes used on the pier. I have also done a Shapeways search and, as you mention, there are things showing up, but not exactly what I need for this project. Another option I'm exploring - once I get enough information to make some drawings - is to attempt a 3D print myself. I have a couple of fellow modelers here who actually own 3D printers and know how to prepare the computer files (I live in Silicon Valley, after all!), so that's a very possible route to follow. I'll keep searching and would still appreciate whatever other suggestions any fellow members here might have.

It consisted of a harbor tug 'Sir John Hall', a tug that was employed in real life by the port authority of Aden. Also included were a 'Brandlmayr' motor cruiser, and an 'Irwin 52' sailing ketch.
The set is 2nd hand available on Ebay, on and off. I wish i could get my hads on this set. I've been looking for just this set for years. These were awesome.

trouble is, people often get carried away with themselves, you're asking where you can buy them from ? Have a look on ebay, also on WEM site and others, you'll find etch, plastic and resin, castles in 1-700 and 1-350 and trees and other stuff on the railroad sites, cut them down and make scale trees from them. So many times you're see something wonderful displayed and not a sniff at where you can buy them from, people here bend over backwards to help, but you'll have to ask what you want rather then what you would like.
