PILOT 1 FIRST TEST RUN
The Advantages of Kit Building
The success of our GWR 15xx kit model clearly demonstrated that
our customers love the idea of building their own model.
Self-assembly provides a great sense of achievement for the
novice and is a real time saver for the experienced model
engineer who may not have the time for another scratch build. By
assembling the model you will learn how a live steam engine
works, providing confidence when running and maintaining the
engine over the years to come.
Complete and Fully-Machined
Our kits are complete and fully machined with everything you
need to complete a working live steam locomotive. There is no
drilling, soldering, or machining of any sort required. Every
single one of our kit models is trial assembled at the factory
before being disassembled and packed for shipping - your
guarantee of quality. Complex assemblies e.g. cylinders are
supplied pre-assembled and the boiler comes with the back head
controls fitted. You will receive a comprehensive instructions
book with illustrations and enjoy access to a telephone helpline
should you need advice during the build. We will ask Mark Harris
to create a video series showing a kit by kit assembly as a
guide to your own build. His GWR 15xx videos attracted over
150,000 views!

T’s & C’s
The manufacture and assembly of this ready-to-run live steam
model is a complex organisational task. We always prioritise
quality over speed and the timetable for delivery represents our
best estimate at the time of your order reservation. Delivery
timing may vary by up to 16 weeks from the dates stated. We will
keep you informed. In line with our policy of continuous
improvement we reserve the right to improve the design of the
model and upgrade materials used as appropriate during
manufacture. Your order is accepted in accordance with T & C’s
on website. While every effort will be made to complete the
model build by the date indicated, time is not the essence of
the contract.
