Okay I know this is the Thomas thread but I am kinda scared to head to the realistic Ho gauge stuff so I will just ask it here So I have been looking into it and I cannot find a 1/87 (HO) scale ship in a kit What did you guys do if you did a ship?
There are kits available for all kinds of ships, tugs, barges, etc, sold by many companies, or you could scratchbuild, but what sort of ship are you looking to build?
There is one ship kit at scalescenes. It is a downloadable kit that requires Adobe Reader and you will need to buy card and other bits to build it.

There are tons of ships available from sylvan models (trampers,tugs, Great Lakes ships, etc)
And with the Brendam warehouse coming soon, it's cargo will have a storage place.
Have you looked into Frenchmen River Model Works?

P.S. - not everyone bites in HO
