Ten years ago, there was a layout which was touring the Model Railroad Shows which was a Waterfront Doc scene and the model that stole the show was a tugboat.  Frenchman River Model Works has designed kits which are based on a few parts to build the structure and allowing the builder to place the accent parts as you see in this model.  Several boats can be added to your Warf and in the Sea or Ocean beyond to add realism to your Waterfront terminus.  Enjoy the pictures and building the models.  Creativity in placement of the super structures is encouraged and can change the entire look of the vessel.  Buy a couple of sea smells sticks or just imagine the fishy smell.  Harold

 Based on a 92' 9 (28.2m) diesel-powered railroad tugboat built around 1953, tugs like this were indispensable to the rail-marine industry. Designed especially to tow carfloats, the tall wheelhouse allowed the captain an unobstructed view above boxcars on deck. Tugs like this could be found at many harbors, and also worked station floats, barges and lighters. 

Typical wooden pier seen on ocean fronts, lakes, rivers or anywhere you need to dock your boat. Realistic deck planks and pilings cast in place. One piece casting... all that's required is minimal clean up, painting, weathering and you're ready to add it to your layout!
