OO9 scale | Resin kit | 44-203K
This is a detailed scale model kit for adult collectors. Not for children under 14 years old.
This model kit contains two freelance Narrow Gauge Tramway Carriages. These models are heavily inspired by the vehicles that ran on the Clogher Valley Tramway, Antrim. This line and it's rolling stock were built to 3ft gauge, but these kits have been scaled down to be more appropriate in size for layouts representing 2' to 2'6" gauge railways.
The carriages feature ornate body panel work, and decorate railings to the balcony ends. The roofs feature a clerestory above the passenger and guard compartments, with topedo vents.
There are four vehicles in this range, each pack contains two carriages. This pack includes the following carriages:
Brake pipes are present at the ends of the vehicles, and a fallplate/gangway can be posed that the guard would in theory use to cross between vehicles. The guards compartment door handles and grab rails are fully detailed, and not moulded to the body and the interior detail includes a hand-brake stand and wheel.
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.
Detailed resin bogies and PECO plastic wheelsets are included with the model. The bogies include NEM pockets with which accept the included resin OO9 couplings. For glazed vehicles, a clear perspex sheet is provided that can be cut to size before fitting.
You will need modelling tools (such as a craft knife, cutting board, files and micro-drills), adhesive and paints to assemble and finish the kit.
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.
