Title: Ffestinog strange things and "oddities"
Post by: Tim Blanchard on July 08, 2025, 04:47
Has anyone tried to build a "working" Spooner's boat?  3d printed boat and chassis with wood strips to build up the profile...   still very much a work in progress.

Some years back I did give some thought to making one, or somthing like it, using a Kato Protram chassis.

I have a 3d printed wagon chassis, and have kitbash built a body...  For "power" I'm using a long "draw-bar" being pulled by the end of a train with a traditional loco.
