Hornby Skaledale Canal items are now available in the shops and at various online outlets.
The canal is made from moulded resin. It's a narrow lock that takes one narrow-boat. The boats are very well made. Plenty of detail and well painted. The company signs are decals so I suppose that they could be gently removed and other company names can be applied if desired. I've seen a couple of places selling decals for HO/OO canal boats.






We'll be adding these to the layout in a few days. I've been waiting for the canal to measure the heights of the gradient changes of the area where the canal will go.
It will be an interesting challange to get the joints between the canal water pieces hidden. Anyone have any good ideas for that?
