The Walthers Cornerstone HO Scale Railroad Tugboat was a specialized type commonly seen in big - city harbors. To offer better visibility over freight cars on car floats, it has a taller pilothouse. Starting in the 1920s, railroads modernized with diesel - electric tugs, many painted in colorful schemes and still in service today. This kit creates a detailed replica of later diesel - electric designs. It comes with a tall pilot house, roof details, towing bitts, masts and more. The complete instructions make construction a breeze, and decals are included. It's a waterline model with no lower hull detail, so it easily fits into new or existing scenery. Ideal for use with the Railroad Car Float (933 - 3152, sold separately) and looks great with Cornerstone waterfront structures. It's one of the SceneMaster and Cornerstone HO Scale scenery details. Key features: Waterline model for easy scenery integration, molded in appropriate colors, and an easy - to - build plastic kit.

Using this Walthers Railroad Tugboat kit is a piece of cake. Just follow the complete instructions included in the box, and you'll have your detailed tugboat replica in no time. When you're building, make sure to handle the small parts carefully so you don't lose them. After construction, you can add it to your existing scenery or create a new one. If you want to use it with the Railroad Car Float, just place it beside or in a way that makes sense in your scene. For maintenance, keep it away from sharp objects that could scratch the plastic. If it gets dirty, you can gently wipe it with a soft, dry cloth. That's all you need to know to enjoy your new tugboat model.
