LSWR/SR/BR Drummond L11 4-4-0 7mm and 4mm kits
This
new kit contains alternative parts to enable construction of an accurate model
of one of Dugald Drummond’s L11, mixed traffic 4-4-0s, from their introduction
in 1903 to the last withdrawals in 1952.
The kit is highly
detailed in etched nickel silver and brass with detail castings in brass
and whitemetal. Construction of the loco ‘body’ is eased considerably
by the use of a fold up jig for the footplate.

The model under construction will eventually show E 164 in 1930s condition. The options selected include plain coupling rods, brake-gear as modified by Urie, clamping dogs for the smokebox door, extended sand box fillers, LSWR lamp sockets with modifications to enable SR lamps to be used and additional lubrication pipework on the LHS of the boiler/firebox. When complete the loco model will be paired with a Drummond 8-wheel 'Watercart' tender. |
