The construction of my New York harbour tug Grace Moran is now complete. It is from a Dumas 1/72 Carol Moran kit with scratch-built fittings. She is modeled in 'as delivered' condition c. 1949. Powerplant consists of a 500 size Mtroniks slow speed motor turning a 1 inch three bladed prop. This made the machinery space rather crowded, but eliminated the need for reduction gears. I am looking forward to her launch and sea trials on the pond. Presently, I am working on towlines, mooring lines, and fenders. If anyone can recommend a good barge kit for her to push/tow I would be interested. Cheers, Ray

Very nice Tug.
Barges are so easy to build from Ply or Plasticard and you can make them as your own Design.

Many Thanks for the kind words, Phil. Please excuse the late reply, as I am still learning how to use the site. Cheers, Ray

Thank you for the advice and compliment, Len. I have done some research on line and found some good photos of barges which should be simple to build. A project for the winter. Cheers, Ray
