Product Highlights
River Queen Tow Boat 1/220 Kit
The River Queen is a traditional-style towboat designed to work on America's rivers where shallow water changing currents and long distances require dependable vessels. Towboats like the River Queen are built to push barges carrying cargo such as grain coal fuel and other goods. Instead of pulling a tow behind them these boats usually push several barges connected together in a long formation. Their flat-bottomed hulls allow them to operate efficiently in relatively shallow water while powerful diesel engines provide the thrust needed to move heavy loads. The wheelhouse gives the crew a high viewpoint for navigating and managing the tow. River towboats are an important part of inland transportation helping move large quantities of cargo efficiently. The River Queen represents the hardworking vessels that have supported river commerce for generations across America's waterways.
