This is a detailed scale model kit for adult collectors. Not for children under 14 years old.
Bagnalls of Stafford produced many small industrial locomotives, the mainstay of their narrow gauge range being their 0-4-0ST design which formed the basis for both large and small machines. We have taken inspiration from six prototypes to create a fleet of locomotives, that whilst not exactly to scale, are proportioned appropriately for the donor mechanism and capture the character of these much loved machines.
PERAK is inspired by similar machines built by Bagnall for export. The model is principally the same as the standard saddle-tank design of Nixie and Dot, but feature a box-tank (sometimes called a flat-top saddle).
The body is designed so that the steamchests can be snapped off, allowing it to be fitted to Bachmann Percy chassis with valve-grear upgrades.
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 Percy 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.
