LSWR

There are two engine kits - one for the first 51 'narrow, locomotives and a second kit for the final 15 'wide' engines. The kits will build virtually all versions from c1900 to the last withdrawals in the 1960s. Included in the kits are parts for the engines built with saturated steam boilers and also for the engines rebuilt with superheated boilers.

Detailed variations include the various front sanding arrangements, two chimneys, plain or fluted coupling rods etc. Also available as an extra is a kit to build fully working inside motion

The kits are etched in brass and nickel silver with over 50 detail castings in brass and 25 in white-metal. Construction of the loco bodies is eased considerably by the use of fold-up jigs for the footplate.
