You've discovered the dilemma of ships and trains. Most commercial boats, even small ocean-going commercial fishing boats, are bigger than a locomotive, to use a common item for comparison. Take the Lionel tugboat, for example. It's pretty much accurate as to scale, but it's still twice the length and height of a typical Diesel loco. I found a few nice and cheap wooden fishing boats that scale out to about 1:64, cut the hulls off at the waterline, and plunked them down on my fake water. They look big, but not overpowering.
