HIGHLY DETAILED OO9 SCALE MODEL KIT
Freelance Peckett & Sons 0-6-0 Tender Locomotive - "Bristol"
This is a detailed scale model kit for adult collectors. Not for children under 14 years old.
This model kit is of a freelance steam locomotive, inspired by similar locomotives built by Peckett & Sons. The design has a similar boiler, frame and chassis to "St George" in the Fourdees Ready-to-Run range, but is a tender locomotive with cab and tender profiles inspired by "No.2133" built for export. The model includes all parts required to assemble working outside-framed motion, including accurate replacement flycranks, and 8mm wheelsets for the tender. 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.
The model requires a Graham Farish Class 08 Shunter Chassis to complete (either the non-DCC or post-2022 DCC-ready chassis).
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 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 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 and painted etch works plates. Details include:

Some spares 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).
Fourdees Limited is not liable for any breakages of parts during assembly of the kit. If parts arrive damaged, please provide photographic evidence and we shall replace the damaged component. If you require spares or accessories, please contact us for a quote for replacements.
