Thanks for the information and the great 3D picture. After reading Dave's comments I went back and reviewed the drawings again and see where the rails are that you've modeled; but it looked like the railing on the day cabin used the rectangular wood rails....is that correct?

Thanks, I'm glad you liked it. As for doing one for you......contact me off line and we can talk.

You're welcome Bruce. The rectangular wood rails would have been used everywhere except for the 2 at the forward top of the chart house. The same with the stanchions in addition to the port forward top chart house (round) rail.

Here's a breakdown of the railings from the Elco parts catalog our webmaster Dick has made available to us:


The catalog can be downloaded here:
