I see from a while many new discussions about the GD.
John has made a big influence on my modeling projects, including this one.
This was my first ship project for my port, made a long time ago; this ferry is in N scale.
Unfortunately, I didnt found any other pictures; the ship and my layout are in a container and on the way to come in Canada around the end of september.
This is a copy of the car ferry Anabel of the Gorre and Daphetid lines; I scratch this ship more than 35 years ago around 1983 - 85 from pictures of the book of Linn Westcott about the GD and some others find in MR and RMC published 40 years ago for sure.
This ferry started out of a LEGO ship hull where I glued micro plywood sides and scratch all the rest including the board by board wood deck which cost me a piece of 1.5cm of my thumb, cut away with a big cutter when cutting the wood parts of the deck.
When I will be able to take it again from the container I will do more pictures and add somme missing details, which I havnt' done when I scratch this ferry.
(More about ship construction for HO and N scale on the Fos wharf Project on the layout building community).
That does look a lot like Annabelle. I have a town named Port Annabelle on my layout in honor of John Allen's city ans car ferry.
Maybe I will add a superstructure to the Walthers Car Float that is inspired by Annabelle.

Living the dream.
Well, my John Allen book is packed away, and it turns out that Anabel is not the easiest thing to find pictures of online.
I finally found a good one, and what do you know? I have been spelling it wrong for years. It is Anabel, not Annabelle like I thought.
