Good morning:

The Lionel Tugboat, I believe, was available two ways - with lights smoke and sound and without. Can anyone confirm this?

Also - any idea what liveries were available for the version with sound, lights and smoke?

Many thanks for the help.

Paul

When the NYC tug (the first tug issued), it did NOT have lite port and starboard (red & green) lights.  Later releases of the tug PRR / Santa Fe etc. had all the lights lite.  I did a retro fit to get red and green led marker lights on my NYC tug.

I'd be interested in knowing some details about your retrofit of the lights. I have the NYC tug as well. I saw that Lionel has the parts available for the lighted port and starboard lights. Did you use those? Any other information on the retrofit would be appreciated.

Here's shots of my tug, the life boat and mast assembly is not on the tug yet, as I am not sure just where the tug will be positioned. Once I decide that, I will finish the assembly, and wire the tug for lights and sound. In case you do not know the sounds featured, these are some of the sounds: tugs whistle; tugs engines; sea gulls; buoys; fog horn etc. I have not tested the smoke unit, but I hope it will be satisfactory to complete the "feel". Hope this helps.
