I have just acquired what I am told is a New York Harbour Tug, it is in an unfinished state and I would be grateful for and info on this tug

[Neil]

a photo  or two of it might help, unless there are psychics on here who can see through the ether.

Try Cornwall Model Boats, Dumas Models, Brooklyn Tug #1238. Does it look like this?

Sorry I cant seem to upload a photo!

Log on to Cornwall model Boats at www.cornwallmodelboats.co.uk On the left hand side under Products Section the first list is Radio Control Model Boat Kits. Go down the list to Dumas and click it. In the display of boat types select Dumas Tugs and Working Boats. The first boat to appear is the Brooklyn Tug.

I hope this helps.

Hi! John, thanks had a look at the Dumas Tug which appears very similar, but mine seems to have another deck aft of the funnel. I have tried several times to upload photo but with no luck -computers

Have a read of http://www.modelboatmayhem.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,23.0.html
It helps with the photo business.

Still waiting to see if anyone recognizes this tug, it bears the name Scuffy which I am told is an American TV programme about a tug.
If anyone can tell me what should be on upper decks it would be a great help?

There was an old show called Waterfront, tug was "Cheryl Ann"... a model version was available, but it doesn't look quite like this.

The picture is quite small, hard to see much. How long is the model?

Looks like Dumas "Brooklyn" to me, but with a raised fiddly deck.

Kind of a mishmash... Brooklyn and proper US steam tugs wouldn't have that blunt stem and fwd bulwarks... and the pilot house is more in keeping with later diesels, like the 85 ST.

My take is ...
British/Euro tug Hull
US Superstructure/Pilot house.
Probably completely wrong though
