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 Peckett & Sons. St George is loosely inspired by the 0-4-2T 'Karen' built for the Selukwe Peak Light Railway (now at the Welsh Highland Heritage Railway). Though it uses the same 0-6-0T chassis as Atlas, the body, tank and cab profile is clearly reminiscent of the Selukwe locomotive.
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.
