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

This model kit is of a freelance 0-4-0 Saddle Tank locomotive, similar to those built by Peckett and Sons for the Oakhill Brewery Railway and Foxcote Colliery Railway.

This is an intermediate kit. The body is in a single piece, with roof and cab interior to fit. The Graham Farish 08 chassis requires somme modification to complete, in this case replacing the frames and all the motion and flycranks. There is no valve gear, and the only delicate component is the crosshead and coupling-rod assembly.

This is an intermediate kit. The body is in many separate components, including frame, smokebox, saddle, cab and roof. The Minitrains F&C chassis requires somme modification to fit, in this case replacing the plastic frames with those included in the kit.

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 MINITRAINS F&C 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.
