This is a detailed scale model kit for adult collectors. Not for children under 14 years old.

This is a kit of parts that can be used to upgrade the Bachmann Trains Talyllyn / Skarloey model. It gives a more prototypical profile to the cylinders, adds detail to the lower frames, and includes smokebox and cab detailing.

This is an advanced kit, with many small parts required careful assembly. You will require modelling tools (such as a craft knife, cutting board and jewel screwdriver) adhesive and paints to assemble the kit. The kit requires a Bachmann Trains 009 / HOn30 Talyllyn / Skarloey model.

This upgrade comes in two forms:

Without Air Brakes (for modelling Talyllyn between the 1970s and 1990s).
With Air Brakes (for modelling Talyllyn after 2000)

Included with each kit are:

Replacement Lower Frame
Cylinder Frames
Cylinder Covers (x2)
Backhead Detailing (1x Flush-Fit, 1x Lipped-Fit)
Smokebox Door
Printed Instructions

Modification of the Bachmann model is at your own risk.

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 BACHMANN TRAINS Skarloey to apply the upgrade. Consult instructions for steps required.

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.
