 Walthers.com. Do a search and you should find some thing. What I can not find is a couple dirt bikes and ATVs for the sand and gravel pit. I had thought every thing in 1 to 1 scale was made in HO until I wanted some dirt bikes.

Thanks

 I still didn't find any. It looks like I might have to make my own.

Might look up some of the model ship companies, like Model Shipways, Mamoli,Corel are a few.  They sell a lot of detail parts for their ship kits and for scratchbuilders,  One or more of them might have something that fits, at least as far as the rafts go.  I still think I remember a kayak set was available from Walthers, possbly in the Merten or Priesser figure collection.

 I saw some rafts made out of "O" rings bent to shape, and the guy used that white first aid tape for the bottoms. Painted up they looked great. He also had home made oars but I can't remember how he made those.Captain

Boat builders didn't produce.  Anybody do some scratchbuilding of Whitewater Rafts?  Give me some ideas.  Thanks
