Introduction
This scenery was in my head since I got all those pier plates, more than one year ago. And I finally used this scenery to present my recent Harbor Shunting Truck creation. I had to design a boat, as I didn't wanted to use the ships from the two 1991 harbor sets. So I've used LEGO-315-1 stickers design for the ship, and I've parted out my LEGO-4022-1 Coast guard boat as it was in WIP for too long and it lacked of stickers on the hull. So it xas an ideal part to begin a conatainer ship. It has a capacity of 8 4x8 containers, so more than the others Town era containers boats. I've used 6540-1: Pier Police Police station as it's my only harbor set, and you can notice that I've changed the cops to a personnal harbor police design made with coast guard torsos. I was searching ideas for a crane but unfortunately, I have those big "A" shaped metapieces in white and in blue but only one of each, so I couldn't build anything with. So Rogdush gave me some tracks to dig and I ended with this simple design, that only can put the coal in the ships, not containers. I also made a lot of different containers with 60's and 70's printed parts that I found were very suitable of this use. I've also made Maersk containers, without doors because of these are expensive. I made this scenery before recieving my 1x4x3 Lt.Gray frame.
Scenery
In this scenery, I've placed the 6540 police station to check containers papers, a red crane to load coal or grain in the ships. There is also a train access with the train track build in the pier, like in real harbors. There is a freight car being unloaded wih bulk cargoes like barrels or boxes. I've also made big lights with Pirate black boat masts. I've also built two buoys. We can see a robber's boat who lost a suitcase full of money and another bad guy who is waiting him. There are some Shell barrels on the pier and some workers.

Great :) Harbour and train sceneries have something special.
Nice idea with the boat, although I think that those floatable boats do not match normal scenery on paper, because they have full hull meant to be submerged. Brick boats have half hull built with the idea to be placed on flat ground. Nice idea for the crane, I like them built out of normal bricks. Although, the best is the usage of boat interior parts as barrel containers :) One thing I would change is the police station. I would link crane with the trains, so the crane could load the barrels on the train too. You do not have a proper way of transporting them, because you can't load them to containers from upwards. In summary, nice work :) | |

Thanks! I've noticed that those types of hulls aren't looking very nice in sceneries. But I lacked of bricks to build a different boat than 1991 ones. The crane is rather simple. You're right, I could have linked the crane with the railway. What do you mean by barrel containers? The coal or grain (1x1 round bricks in black or yellow) isn't intended to be loaded in containers, but more in hold of the boat directly from the crane, in bulk.
