 "We are delighted to introduce this highly popular model as our first fully machined, bolt-together, kit. It provides the opportunity for complete novices to assembly their own model without the need to solder, mill, turn, or tap. Not only will provide an enjoyable pastime, but will also serve as a learning experience as to how a live steam locomotive works. The kit also offers a quick build option for time served model engineers who feel they do not have the time to undertake another extended scratch build".

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.
