This is a detailed scale model kit for adult collectors. Not for children under 14 years old.
This model is of a freelance steam locomotive, inspired by similar locomotives built by Peckett & Sons. Atlas is inspired by the three machines built for the Sena Sugar Estates in South Africa. These were large machines built to a generous loading gauge. The cab, tank and smokebox outlines have inspired a machine that looks more at home on an industrial UK based layout, but would equally suite other continental location.
This ready-to-run model has been hand-built and hand-painted by Dani, and is powered by a Graham Farish 08 chassis. The mechanism has been converted with outside-framed motion, including accurate replacement flycranks. The model is DC only.
The highly detailed bodyshell has been assembled using some of the most advanced additive manufacturing machines in the UK. The finished model includes full representation of all the pipework and control rods present on the prototype, finished with flush glazing and a detailed cab interior.
PECO GR-102 couplings are fitted in NEM pockets, and can be changed for other NEM compatible couplers. Custom etch name and works plates are supplied to fit if desired. The model comes packaged with detailed instructions and a collectors artcard, giving details of the model and the prototype.
