This is a detailed scale model kit for adult collectors. Not for children under 14 years old.
This Andrew Barclay & Sons 0-4-2ST is heavily inspired by the locomotive 'Chevalier' built for the Campbeltown and Machrihanish Light Railway in 1883. The original form of this model is already available, with its distinctive open back cab. Later in its life, the locomotive did receive a closed cab, but this was an engineering 'bodge' using components from a Kerr Stuart Skylark class 'Princess'. Kintyre represents an improvement to the Chevalier class, supposing a situation where a second machine had been ordered by the railway, but with a full cab and rear bunker fitted.
This is a beginner's kit, and comprises a single large body shell, with separate cab piece and a selection of detailing components with which to personalise the model. If motorising, the Bachmann Quarry Hunslet chassis requires no modification to fit, other than replacing the rear coupling with the included ponytruck.
Manufacturing
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.
Assembly
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 Narrow Guage - 009 Quarry Hunslet to motorise the finished model. Consult instructions to see if the chassis needs any modification before fitting.
Hints and Tips
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.
