Product informations

This model of the paddler tug GLASGOW has been designed to 1:40 scale using English drawings. The scarce information available on the history
and career of this tug indicates that it was mainly operated in ports of Northern England and Scot-land.
The modeller has the option of powering his model with an electric motor or - just like the fullsize
vessel - with a steam engine. All difficult to fashion parts, such as hull, paddle wheel covers, life boat, skylights, companionways, pressure vents etc. are moulded of ABS plastic. The wood parts all come profusely pre-shaped. Building time is further
shortened by the many injection-moulded ABS plastic parts of the set of fittings (No. 582), such as winch anchor, bollards, davits, engine room telegraph etc., as well as the brass rail stanchions.
