This is a detailed scale model kit for adult collectors. Not for children under 14 years old.
This model kit is of carriages 9 and 10, as running on the Talyllyn Railway in the early 2000s. These were amongst the first bogie coaches to work on the preserved railway, originally built as open and semi-open vehicles in 1954 by W.G. Allen. They were later updated to their current bodies by Raymond Tisdale and Co in 1967/8.
Carriage 9 was originally the full open, but is now a fully enclosed Third Class vehicle. Carriage 10 is built to the same overall dimensions, but is a Brake Third. Following Talyllyn Railway tradition, the vehicles only have passenger doors and a footboard on one side, and the model represents them post installation of air brakes.
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.
Detailed resin bogies and PECO plastic wheelsets are included with the model. The bogies include NEM pockets with which accept the included resin OO9 couplings. For glazed vehicles, a clear perspex sheet is provided that can be cut to size before fitting.
Assembly
You will need modelling tools (such as a craft knife, cutting board, files and micro-drills), adhesive and paints to assemble and finish the kit.
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.
