Tug Boat

Your Atlantis model kit is designed for general use in N-scale (1:160) model railroad layouts or waterfront

dioramas. While these may be generic models, their real-world counterparts have rich histories as vital parts of maritime commerce and service. Tugboats are powerful vessels designed to maneuver larger ships, barges or oil platforms by pushing or towing them in harbors, rivers, and open seas. Because colossal vessels like container ships and cruise

liners cannot navigate narrow channels or safely dock on their own, tugs act as the vital guiding

engines of global maritime commerce. They are relatively small but are built with extraordinarily powerful

engines that generate immense torque and pushing/pulling force.
