Arnold - it looks like we both used the same simulated water sheets, or at least the nice blue water effect came out the same. Congrats on the PRR tug acquisition.

Here's a picture of my NYC tug in my previous industrial wharf area. BTW: Preiser makes excellent dock workers - can double as tug crewman.

Paul, I was obsessed with the Lionel NY Central Tugboat when I first saw it. It was love at first sight.  I thought it was the nicest thing related to model railroading that I ever saw.  Hunting for one that the owner was willing to part with was like the search for the Holy Grail.

Now, I have 2 Lionel NY Central Tugboats, but the sounds do not work on either of them. I still treasure them because they look so great.

My new Lionel Pennsy Tugboat, which I just got yesterday, seems to be in perfect condition, including the sounds. I particularly like the sounds of the sea gulls. Also, the Pennsy has more lights than the NY Central.

Paul, your Lionel NY Central Tugboat looks great. Arnold
