SLEDGEHAMMER Coal fired long range ocean tug

Built this ship long before the steam pistons update, otherwise would have had large steam pistons. Any who this is a multi purpose long range coal fired steam turbine tug. It has 3 large electric motors so its quite powerful. Cruise is about 20 knots. Also has a full interior.

Start up is simple, make tour way down to engine room and light the 3 furnaces using keys and engage their generators with the lever.

Ship has ability to strafe L/R or pivot L/R on center axis by use of a selector toggle switch and L/R arrow keys.

Instructions on how to operate the 2 cranes are placarded near the crane power button. They are remote controlled and I suggest using the nearby platform for a good view. Otherwise if you turn OFF your remote the mags will turn off and release your load :-( Not sure how to fix this yet, especially because I built the system a good while ago.

Life boats are used by lowering winch onto electric connectors on the life boat, fold down the side rails toggle, release the boat from ship toggle, raise winch, then the swivel out toggle. once lowered they are not retrievable due to bungee affect of rope.

There is a cargo bay platform that can be lowered and raised.
