HIGHLY DETAILED OO9 SCALE MODEL KIT. This is a detailed scale model kit for adult collectors. Not for children under 14 years old. This model kit is of a. This 2-6-2T locomotive was built in 1906 to 2′ gauge, to work what became the Welsh Highland Railway. In 1924 the locomotive was heavily modified in order for it to be able to operate on the Ffestiniog Railway. Russell continued to operate on the Welsh Highland Railway up until its closure in 1937. In 1965, it was donated to the Welsh HIghland Railway preservation group for restoration, first steaming again in 1987. The model comes with a static chassis for display, and can be motorised with a Graham Farish Class 08 Shunter Chassis (outside framed version – either non-DCC or DCC-ready). The model includes all parts required to assemble working Walschaerts Valve Gear, including accurate replacement flycranks. You will need modelling tools (such as a craft knife, cutting board, files and micro-drills) adhesive, paints and ballast material (such as Liquid Gravity) to assemble the kit. Two versions of the model are available. C1906 – As built (and present day restored) condition, including tall cab and air brakes. C1935 – As cut-down to work the Ffestiniog Railway, with vacuum brakes. This is a highly detailed scale kit built using our in house machines, with High Definition resin and build layers just 50 microns (0.05mm) thick. Whilst there is’stepping’ visible on the parts up close, this is. Once the kit is painted and/or from usual viewing distances. The parts have their main supports removed, though detailing and structural supports will remain to protect the parts in transit, and require removing prior to assembly. Some polishing and filing of the parts is required to ensure they fit together without a seam. Clear (and varnished) resin windows are included, though you may wish to use clear plastic sheet (not included) if preferred. PECO GR102 coupling are included, along with etch brass motion, brass body panels, pony wheelset and etch works plates. This model uses re-engineered CAD from our main model range, to optimise the kit building experience. Fully detailed cab interior, including representations of. Control rods and valve wheels. Fully detailed frame and smokebox, including representations of. Fully detailed tank tops, control rods and steam pipes. Safety valves and steam manifold. Steam injectors and top feed. Coal heap and coal rails. Parts to assemble a working outside-framed 2-6-2T chassis. Accurate flycranks, both plain and counterweighted (includes spares). Expansion links (includes spares). Cylinders with drain cock linkage. Some spares denoted above are supplied on a build raft, as you may find it easier to paint them in this form (and they also account for any mistakes during kit assembly).
