This new kit features many alternative parts to enable locos from all four builders (Beyer Peacock, Stephenson, Dubs and Neilson) to be built from their original Victorian elegance through to their memorable BR days on the Lyme Regis branch.
Included are:
Two Chimneys, Two Domes and Two Smokebox Doors
Single or Double Slidebars
Short or Long Tanks. Wooden or Metal Cab Roof.
Working Rear Radial Truck with facility for the different
diameter wheels.
The kit is highly detailed in etched brass and nickel silver, with over 60 detailed castings in brass and nickel silver and 11 in whitemetal. The chassis (which can be built rigid) features beam compensation for which hornblocks are an optional extra.
A kit to construct fully working inside valve gear is also available as an optional extra. This includes brass castings for the valve rods and turned brass eccentrics.
