New York Central Railroad Tugboat

-Extend your rail empire beyond the docks with these exciting new Tugboats. Escorting carfloats topped with rail cars, tugboats played a vital role in moving freight from terminal to terminal in New York Harbor. In fact, so vital were tugboats that at their peak in 1937, they moved more than 5300 cars per day through the harbor. Now you can bring their charm to your layout.---Inspired by drawings of actual rail tugs, whose height was taller than that of regular tugs for viewing over the carfloats, these models are packed with features and detail. From the prototypical decoration, to the operating smoke unit and life-like horn, the New York Central and B&O tugboats bring a new look to O-Gauge. What's more, they are designed for operation on your layout, or can be used as display pieces for your train room or fireplace mantle. Complete with a realistic "water wake" base, these tugs are the perfect start to a new series of harbor rail.
