There are a few companies that sell HO scale lobster traps. Does anyone have any experience with any of them to know which ones are the best detailed? thanks

Both Bluejacket and Bar Mills make etched brass lobster traps. We have bought both kits for the Boothaby RR Village layout, and they are similar. I have just finished making some traps from the Bluejacket kit. Just cut the trap from the brass carrier, fold around a dowel to make the arched top, fold the ends up, glue with CA and paint. The Bluejacket kit includes a dozen etched brass lobsters and cast metal pot bouys; the bouys seem a bit large to me. An easy kit to do

These came with the Frenchman River lobster boat. I think they are the Bar Mills ones.

I did Google, but you really can’t tell the size etc. by the images on the site. Just looking for a little help

Mr B that’s a lovely little scene!

George thanks for the link. I think after seeing Mr B’s photo I might have to have some of those.
