Awesome! I love rail ferries! Bridges are so overated :D

How many tracks does it have? Taking the beam into consideration, I would guess just one track on each side and maybe a middle one?

Great work.
The only thing I see "wrong" (and it's perhaps disputable) is that ventillators are plain white - no shading or nothing - I'd suggest doing them very light grey + shading to show they are circular in diameter,
and there are several thing sthat aren't "wrong", but I would do bit differently:
-use bit lighter shades to show that "black" color - I know that black is... well, supposed to be black, but even after setting most extreme brightness of my screen, it was still one black blob ;)
-those two "masts" (or whatever it is) and lifeboat cranes I would do 3 pixel thick,
-I would make the shaft leading to propellers 3 pixel thick instead of 4 (that is: contour, shaft, contour).

@ Ezgo:
Yup, 2 tracks on the sides. The middle is filled with hatches, doors, storage spaces and Engine Stuff.

@ Eswube:
Good point, I will try fix the vents.

Though, I am going to stick with this shade of grey; it's already very grey on my laptop (it just starts to get a little bit black on low).

It's a good thing you reminded me of those "masts". Yesterday, I discovered their original colour should be white/grey-ish. And when I say "masts" I must confess that I have no idea what they are. I haven't found any picture yet showing a flag on it; and when this ship (or one of her (little) sisters) has a Dutch flag planted on it, it is located on the transom. I think it was used for signalling, but I will have to be more confident about that to put some flags on these "masts".

I will look at the shaft. I traced this drawing over a scaled original drawing of it, but I agree that it doesn't look right yet. I had understood that some artist's impression was allowed on shipbucket, so we will see what it will turn out like. ;)

Thanks for your comments! :D

There we are! I did some research, did some changes Eswube suggested and fixed some major errors.
Should you wonder why I changed the superstructure: the windows weren't right; and after taking a closer look at some pictures I noticed I used the superstructure framing of the the enkhuizen's sister, the SS Stavoren (which I will upload soon). So to keep this drawing a bit realistic, I had to change it to regular framing. I tried some different methods, but I think I will redo it some time from now after I get some sleep.

SS Stavoren coming soon! Let me know what you think (apart from the superstructure framing, it looks like $#!@, I know :().
