Hi Peter

You really have made a "little" dio full of action and interesting details, and you're able to give it a convincing wet and damp atmosphere...
One of the details that catches my eye, is the coal mount - it looks really convincing
Although late, I have to say that the tug disposition should be different so that the stern would be controled to
Congratulations

Thanks, Rui, and you're right about the tugs, I simply ran out of them. I could have used another 3 x tugs with another two at the Hog, and another one with the oiler which is coming in. Also there is a space in front of the Hog, which I didn't use, however, I continue...........

Hi Peter

In no way my intention was to throw stones at your dio, and I am trully happy that you understood my remarks!
One thing is certain, you can always add at least one at the stern - you have space for it!
The more I look at the photos the more fun I have found this dio - those cranes are very delicate and add a break on the horizontal nature of the dio (even if the HI and the tugs are breaking it viewed from above!)

Great dio Peter, really captures the atmosphere, particularly like all those deckloads on the Hog

Thanks very much guys, and thank you to Battlefleet Models for such splendid little kits, and the Hog Islander - the combinations of fitting this dio together is endless - go and treat yourselves everyone!
