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

This model is inspired by Sierra Leone Govt Railways No.85. The Hunslet Engine Company built over thirty similar machines of 2-6-2T arrangement to operate the railways of the West-African nation. The last of these locomotives, built to a slightly improved design, was No.85. On the lines closure, this particular locomotive was offered to the Welshpool and Llanfair Light Railway, and became No.14 in their fleet. 

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.

Damages and replacements

These models are hand-built and hand-painted kit assemblies, not to be directly compared with mass-produced models maufactured overseas. They feature incredibly high levels of detail, but are fragile, so additional care should be taken with instructions followed carefully.

If the model develops a fault inside the first three months, contact us to discuss the issue so we can try to repair the item. These are the final models left, so there may not be any replacements available.
