Kerr, Stuart & Co. Tramway Locomotive - "Natal"

This is a detailed scale model kit for adult collectors. Not for children under 14 years old.

This model kit is of a saddle tank tramway locomotive, heavily inspired by the 'Tattoo Class' of locomotive built by Kerr Stuart & Co. Over 50 locomotives to this general design were constructed, to a variety of gauges. The model here has been extended slightly, so that it will fit a donor mechanism, resulting in a longer tank and bunker. This model features tramway skirts, to hide a Kato mechanism. 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 kit requires a KATO 11-109 chassis to motorise the finished model.

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 beginners kit, and comprises a single large body shell, with a selection of additional components to ease painting of the model.

Parts included:

• Body Shell
• Boiler Backhead
• Cab Roof
• Glazing
• Lamps x2

If motorising, the Kato chassis requires no modification to fit.

The finished/painted model shown in the images has kindly been completed by Repaints by Ben.
