@Alannicholls the amazing part of this tug are the enthusiasts that cut it up, moved it over a mountain range, a distance of over 70 miles and put it together again as a static display

@Kevin55 Hi. I designed and printed this towing hook for my "Alwyn Vintcent" 1:32 Scale steam tug. I can send you the stl file for 3d printing if you want.

Hi. Thanks you very much for the image you made a great job of that. I’ll definitely be making my own I think I may have to use brass and black it like the real tug. The information I have on this part is very poor so I appreciate any help I can get

Hi Kevin, this is a towing hook that I recently made for my semi scale boat - the hook is fully swivelling and is made from dural, it is actually strong enough to function. The anti scuff rail was based on a photo that I saw of a mk1 prototype boat which had many details which were later modified along the boats developement.

Can't see your drawing but if it is for an RAF crash tender SLEC have a kit for making one.
