This is a detailed scale model kit for adult collectors. Not for children under 14 years old.
This model kit is based on the locomotives built by Andrew Barclay for the Campbeltown and Machrihanish Light Raiway. This railway was a 6 mile 2'3" gauge line that ran across the Argyll peninsula in Scotland. It was Scotland's only passenger carrying narrow gauge railway. Originally operated by smaller machines from Kerr Stuart and Andrew Barclay, the latter went on to produce two handsome 0-6-2T locomotives that became the stalwarts of traction on the line between 1907 and the lines closure in 1934.
The kit has been produced using original drawings from the Andrew Barclay archive. The only notable difference is that the Campbeltown and Machrihanish Light Railway added buffers to the locomotives upon their arrival from Andrew Barclay, but in order for the model to negotiate 12" and 9" curves it has been necessary to omit these from the model.
This is a highly detailed 4mm scale kit built using our in house machines, with High Definition resin and build layers just 50 microns (0.05mm) thick. Whilst there is 'stepping' visible on the parts up close, this is not discernible once the kit is painted and/or from usual viewing distances.
The parts have their main supports removed, though detailing and structural supports will remain to protect the parts in transit, and require removing prior to assembly. Some polishing and filing of the parts is required to provide a smooth finish. Clear (and varnished) resin windows are included, though you may wish to use clear plastic sheet (not included) if preferred.
You will need modelling tools (such as a craft knife, cutting board, files and micro-drills) adhesive, paints and ballast material (such as Liquid Gravity) to assemble the kit.
This kit requires a GRAHAM FARISH 08 chassis to motorise the finished model. Consult instructions to see if the chassis needs any modification before fitting.
Keep resin parts out of direct sunlight. Detailing and structural supports remain in order to protect the parts in transit, and should be removed before painting.
Parts will benefit from a wash in cool soapy water before painting, but do not leave them to soak. Alternative, Isopropyl alcohol is also a good cleaning solution if parts feel overly sticky.
If any components appear bent or warped, heat them gently with a hairdryer or in warm water (do not soak), and then hold parts whilst they cool.
If modifying the parts in any way (either by cutting, filing, sanding or drilling) be sure to wear appropriate protective clothing such as gloves and masks.
