The Exeter is a freelance design that incorporates features from some prototype vessels. Our HO tug represents a wooden hull steam tug built for RR car float service. This is evident by her “Boot Heel” pilothouse, which raises the forward part of the pilothouse so the skipper can see over the freight cars on the car float. Along with RR service the ” EXETER” is designed to be a jack of all trades with small passenger & freight cabins in the after portion of the deckhouse.

This kit is perfect for any harbor or river scene.  With its high pilot house, this tug typifies a railroad tug boat used for moving railroad car flats and barges.  The higher pilot house allows the captain to see over a railway car float loaded with box car.  With the closing of most car float operations, many of these tugs may now be seen in regular tug boat service.    Tug measures 11" X 3.25".
