 Dan: I'm assuming you want HO size models or nearly so? It helps if you specify. Try a Google search with the field "HO ship model" From the size you specify and the 1950s era what you likely want are ex-Liberty ship sized models. These were designed to what were the C3 and C4 US Maritime Commission standard and literally built in thousands. They were steam ships but the difference in appearence from a diesel powered ship are slight. Models in 1/96 are available of the SS Hudson Gate, model length 54" and the SS Hudson River, a collier (a coal freighter) length 39". Sylvan Scale Models makes an HO scale Great Lakes freighter, length 36". Also you might be interested in a book, Railroading Along the Waterfront, Waltres used to carry it at a list $49.95. For more detailed plans you might visit the Sailors Union of the Pacific website www.sailors.org/ I hopefully you will find this useful. Good luck Randy
