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.
