HIGHLY DETAILED OO9 SCALE MODEL KIT
Corris Tattoo 0-4-2 Locomotive - Era's 1 and 2
This is a detailed scale model kit for adult collectors. Not for children under 14 years old.
This model kit is inspired by locomotive Number 4 on the Corris Railway. It is a variation of the Kerr, Stuart & Co. Tattoo design, enlarged to 2' 3" gauge and with inside frames. This model represents the locomotive during the final years of operation on the Corris Railway in the 1940s (under GWR ownership) and into the first years of operation on the Talyllyn Railway in 1950s.
ERA 1 - As running on the Corris Railway: Original Cab, Vaccuum Brakes, No Left-Side Cab Door
ERA 4 - As running on the Talyllyn Railway: Second Cab Door, Mechanical Lubricator, No Brake Equipment
You will need modelling tools (such as a craft knife and cutting board) adhesive and paints to assemble the kit. There are 3 cavities in the bodyshell that can be filled with suitable ballast (such as Deluxe Materials Liquid Gravity) to increase the weight. The model requires a Bachmann Trains (USA) Peter Sam chassis to complete. Alternatively, Static Chassis are available that can be used for display purposes.
This is a highly detailed 4mm 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 not discernible 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 provide a smooth finish. Clear (and varnished) resin windows are included, though you may wish to use clear plastic sheet (not included) if preferred.
This is a beginner's kit, and comprises a single large body shell, with separate cab piece. The Bachmann Trains Peter Sam chassis requires no modification to fit, but the body and running frame need removing.
