Edmund Fitzgerald Ore/Oil Tanker WOOD N SCALE ship
Hand Made wooden model Measures approx. 16 inches in length Can be generically applied to an N Scale layout Shipwrecks collectible Ship model
You are viewing a hand crafted ship model of the EDMUND FITZGERALD ore ship. You may recall the Gordon Lightfoot song that made this ship's demize even more famous with it's sinking in Lake Superior on November 10, 1975. This model is made of wood with metal railings and other details. The thing about this model is that it could be generically suitable for use with N scale train layouts. We are not saying that this IS N scale because the actual Edmund Fitz was much larger. But with some imagination as a generic ship, it could work. To help you decide, we've placed TWO N scale people on board showing one in a second close up photo(People not included with model). This way you can make your own decision. The model is approx. 16 inches in length. You have the option of removing the Edmund Fitzgerald decals quite easily if you wanted to rename the ship as you please even making it look like an oil tanker. Would make an awesome addition to an N gauge train layout's waterways system offloading cargo near a train yard. It also comes attached to a wooden base, but again, you should be able to detach that if you wanted to use this model in a diorama. As it is though, this would be a great collectible or gift for the person with interest in ship collecting(especially models made from wood), Great Lakes memorabilia, Edmond Fitzgerald collectibles and of course, shipwrecks!! What's more, the price cannot be beat! ;) Condition on this item is excellent. Please see photos. NOTE:There is no need for you scale guys that take these things super seriously to write in and tell us how this model doesnt measure up perfectly to N scale. I am giving you all the information I have to help you in determining if this will work for your needs.
