A Classic Working Vessel for Your Collection

Unlike conventional tugboats that pull vessels, river towboats are designed to push barges ahead of them. Their broad hulls, elevated wheelhouses, and practical deck arrangements reflect their important role in commercial river transportation.

The River Queen captures the character of these hardworking vessels in a manageable 1:220 scale. Its compact size makes it easy to incorporate into a miniature waterfront, industrial river scene, or model railroad setting without requiring a large display area.

Build, Customize, and Display

Enjoy assembling the boat, adding the included decals, and choosing a paint scheme that complements your collection. Display it on the included stand or incorporate it into a larger diorama featuring docks, warehouses, barges, and other waterfront details.

Whether you're an experienced ship modeler or a hobbyist looking for a distinctive maritime project, this classic towboat offers plenty of creative possibilities.
