HIGHLY DETAILED OO9 SCALE MODEL KIT

Hunslet Engine Co. Tramway Locomotive - "Hancock"

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

This model kit is of a Hunslet Engine Co. tramway locomotive, is heavily inspired by our 'Bushel' model. The model takes much of the shape and styling from Leeds No.1, built by Hunslet for the Colsterdale Waterworks Railway in Yorkshire. However, the profile has been reduced to fit a smaller 0-4-2 wheel arrangement, whilst still keeping the attractive UK styling of the prototype. This particular design features full-length tanks, two forward sandboxes and air brake apparatus. This model also 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 an intermediate 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 and Bunkers
• Cab Roof
• Lamps x2
• Glazing

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

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.
