canal boats

 Does anyone know where I can get O-scale canal boats. I am thinking of adding a canal to my layout. Thanks.

Haven't seen any, Terry, but plans should be available, and it wouldn't be too hard a scratchbuilding project.

Re: canal boats

I made these boats from balsawood. Cut the basic shape on a scroll saw and carve out the inside. Sand the bottom edges to curve up the shape. These took about 20 minutes to make.

Looks like a narrow escape for the guy in the boat.
