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 the Hunslet Engine Company. The design has a similar boiler, tank and cab shaping to locomotive "Leeds No.1" built by this manufacturer for the Leeds Corporation Waterworks Railway. This model differs from our Leeds No.1 model by being more accurate to the proportions of the prototype, which was a tall/wide machine for 2' gauge with many features in common with the Sierra Leone Railways No.85.
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.
