Smoke Generator for Tug Boat - Model Railroader Magazine

Have You figured a way to install all the things that You want to put in it yet?

Having idea's for the things You would like to do is one thing....getting them in and being able to get at them for maintenance is another. The main cabin deck mounts to the deck in a curved floor. The pilot house and stack are the same way and the railing is styrene and is put on in sections. You have to find a way to make it removeable...but yet keep the contour so it will fit without a whole bunch of light bleed thru the seams, of the pilot/stack deck and the cabin. Also make sure the smoke unit will fit in the stack without melting it. Lot of things to think about.

You can click on pic' to make it larger:

On mine, the main cabin deck is glued to the main deck and the railing deck with pilot house/stack is held in place with one wood screw that goes into the stack and there is a block of pine wood epoxied to the hull. If You put a smoke unit in there You won't have room to do that.......some things to think about. Not as easy as it sounds.....

Good Luck!
