This is a white metal kit for canal locks. I am installing a canal, and a lock, on the British OO layout "Henley."
I once was employed as the Garbage Man's Assistant. While he stayed warm in the truck, I climbed into the dumpsters with an iron bar to chip free frozen garbage; I have a particular memory of frozen broccoli. I hate broccoli.

MicroBen. I got them on ebay 3 to a package. Here's the ones I bought, but the shipping wasn't this much... https://www.ebay.com/itm/Hi-Tech-Details-8003-Trash-Recycling-Dumpster-Kit-blue-pkg-3-HO-MIB/293446994105?epid=5028463202&hash=item4452cdc8b9:g:mM0AAOSwaJ9cTIyp

Oh cool. For several years now I've been following several UK narrowboaters on You Tube. Canals have long been interesting. Spent some childhood years in US region where Erie Canal, Potomac Canal, and C&O Canal, were but have not been to UK. That AHM/Rivarossi 4-4-0 there on right edge of photo is among my favorite HO locomotives.

A hearty second to being a canal fan. I grew up just a few miles from the Delaware River and spent lots of my childhood walking along the canal paths on either side, and now out here in Western PA I'm not too far from Saltsburg on the old Pennsylvania Canal. Always feels like such a shame that it's filled in and paved over, but then again, how many decades has it been since that was done... long before my time.
Looking forward to seeing how that lock turns out, I don't think I've ever seen a canal lock on a layout before!
