Hi Heather,
The S.S. Grey Line is a mix of both Newfoundland and B.C. Ferry's. I built
this one and a slightly smaller one (in height) for a Train Line that I
have, called Grey Line Transport. The Train Ferry holds three sections of
track. The S.S. Grey Line has two lanes for large trucks (outside lanes)
and two for cars and small trucks. Three "set" size big rigs will fit in
each row. There are stairs in the outside walls of the ship leading to the
middle deck. A bar, sitting area, sleeping berths and restrooms are all on
this level. (sorry no pictures of these)
Glad you liked it, I really liked that wood haulling cart you did some time
ago. I think you capture the Newfoundland theme well in your creations.
Rick
