Description: | 1 in 48 scale model of the steam screw icebreaker tug, 'Saratovski Ledokol', built by Armstrong Mitchell and Company at Low Walker, on the River Tyne in 1895. She worked at the Uvek's crossing on the River Volga in Russia. She helped keep shipping moving during the winter months, clearing channels through the frozen river for ferries like 'Saratovskaia Pereprava'. She was built in two halves so she could be split for transporting through the narrow locks on her way to the Volga.
