LOCOMOTIVE KITS AND SEPARATE TENDERS

LNER/BR Peppercorn K1 and tender. Popular and widespread locomotives used for a wide variety of duties.  My model has all the subtleties of the prototype including the sloping footplate section under the boiler.  Details include electric lighting, speedometer and modifications (including tender) made during their era.  Contains over 100 brass castings and separate frame spacers for 00, EM and P4 gauges.

Price with tender £160 (excluding wheels, gearbox and motor) plus £4 P&P (UK). 

Ex-WD Austerity 2-8-0 and tender. Built during wartime, a minimal amount of material was used in their construction.  I believe that I have captured the almost delicate, utilitarian appearance of the original, following meticulous study of the works drawings. A highly detailed model of a common locomotive, demanding the provision of a large number of  brass castings as well as the etched parts. WD 2-8-0 loco and tender
£160
+ £4 p&p.

LNER J27 0-6-0 and tender. This etched kit offers a comprehensive portrayal of a remarkable prototype which became the last pre-grouping class on BR.  Virtually all detail versions of these engines (including superheated) can be made.  See MRJ #72 for review.            J27 loco and tender
£125
+ £4 p&p.

N2 Chassis - for the Airfix/Dapol body.  Includes new steps, 2 styles of frames and, for later versions, flanges for new condensing pipes and alternative cab front and rear overlays.  Spacers for EM and P4 only.
Assembled chassis   Chassis with Hornby/Dapol body    chassis frets
   £42 + £2 p&p.

Chassis kit for LNER B1. The excellent Replica body is used as a basis to produce an accurate and realistic LNER B1 model,  although any scale body could be used. Etches are nickel silver and castings are exclusively brass.  See “Plastic Bodied Locos” by Tim Shackleton, Wild Swan.
Also included are a tender chassis, chimney , dome, and alternative smokebox doors.   
£68
+ £2 p&p.

Chassis kit for BR - 9F  9F chassis
A rather special kit which reflects the construction of the prototype - the soul of the machine.  The fabricated brackets supporting the motion, cab and injectors are all there and are specially designed with groups of parts easily locating together during assembly.  All nickel silver with many brass castings, including injectors and valves. Parts for P4/EM are included but a 00 conversion should be possible. 
£96 + £2 p&p.

A1 Chassis - A proper chassis designed to produce a hard working P4 or EM engine using the Bachmann, or any other accurate body.   All nickel silver etches with brass castings.  An inside frame tender chassis is included but not the Cartazzi castings.   The kit provides working solutions to the problems inherent in building reliable models of Pacifics.  Just build it!  Click on these links to see the frets:  A1-1,  A1-2.
Price £73.00 + £2 p&p.

J39 chassis. Once again, the Bachmann body can give us an accurate model.  The chassis design follows the prototype closely and features dummy inside valve gear, visible under the high boiler.  The lubricator drive is there too.
Etched steps are provided and a casting for the missing boiler bottom.  Also in the kit are hornblocks and an underframe for the Bachmann tender. A large nickel silver etch provides all this and covers all 3 gauges.
 £47
+ £2 p&p.

LNER 4200 gallon group standard tender. This comprehensive kit covers all significant flat-sided versions (ie not the flared type).   Information is provided to indicate the correct variant for the locomotive - these tenders were used at some time with classes B1, B2, B17, D49, J38, J39, K1, K3, K4, O2 and V2.    (See K1 above for model photos).
£47 + £2 p&p.

NER 3038 gallon tender. I can supply etches, castings and instructions for the NER 3038 gallon tender only.  This suits NER classes C, D, F, G, I, P and P2/P3.    Etch £24. see 'castings.htm' for castings.
