I don't have a copy of "Railroads Illustrated", so I'm not sure how this tug is used......but.....
I would guess, from the fact that the pilot house is raised, significantly above the rest of the tug, that she is used to push barges, with freight cars on board.
Looks like it might be an excellent *scratchbuild project*. If you go ahead with that, post the progress here, I'm sure there would be someone else interested....like maybe anyone who might be building the "Stick Lighter" from the Railroad Model Chraftsman article ?, or anyone using a "Carferry-Barge" as a staging device?.
I will be happy when the 2013 Get Off Your Duff And Finish Something "challenge" is done, and I can get back to working on the tour ship.
It will be nice having the NG O/F 2-6-6-2 done and running

We always learn far more from our own mistakes, than we will ever learn from another's advice.
The greatest place to live life, is on the sharp leading edge of a learning curve.
Lead me not into temptation.....I can find it myself!
