A modified Model Slipway Wyeforce 1/24th tug perhaps? Maybe install steerable korts as appose to the fixed ones.. Also maybe a bow thruster.

Hi,
From Experience I can heartily reccommend Tyne Models Northsider/Ironsider fitted with a directional Kort, Mine is driven direct by a car heater motor and boy does she pull.

Hi Peter,
What sort of pollard pull does your tug have?

Try getting in touch with Andy Kelly at Balne Moor M.B.C.
I got a text from him last week that he is selling a tug that i built a few years ago...
I reckon it fits your requirments...

Hi Dan,
It's only in the last few weeks I have had it on the water, and found the Speed Controllers a bit iffy, so bought a new one at Birchwood (A Model World) which will be fitted as soon as it arrives.
