Nice Bob. Are you going to do anything under it for looks or leave it stone?

Bob… Question…do you have a photo of what you are making of a portable car barge? And what are the Red and yellow things do? Just wonder on how it works… and how are you going to working it as a carrier.
Now looking at our pond here and looking for a way or idea to remove some of the pond sides to lower an area to run something like you are doing and maybe build another barge to load a few rail cars to use with my R/C Tug. Now you got our old brain working.

Jeff: Nope, in fact, the blocks will come up after TrainOps, and the whole area seeded with grass.

Noel: Not a portable float or anything, just an industry. The yellow widgets are dogs for attaching the car ferry to the float bridge, so they go up and down when the weight on the ferry changes. The red things are for putting a beam into, in case a car starts to roll.

Are the dogs the ones with the PFD’s, you know, Sea Dogs… :wink:

Tk’s Bob. Very interesting…

#49

Darn… Not going to be able to build one… Darn… My pond in 24 hr. time had a raise and low of water of 4 inches.
Have to have a long lead track and cut way back on Butthead Cove area. So guess just leave the dock as it is.

Thats a great looking barge Bob.

#52

Thanks. Its not accurate size wise, at all, but its to give the general idea. Better than a piece of plywood with track on it!
