I like the car float and its supporting yard. The tug, on the other hand, is not really based on any prototype. I scratchbuilt it from simple materials like a block of wood, cardboard, a plastic tube, and the pilot house was made from a miniature oval box I found for a buck at Micheal's Arts and Crafts. I'd like to build a better one that more closely resembles those I've seen in photos of actual rail/water service. I'm quite happy with my gloss medium water effects and the murky gray green color of the water.
