HIGHLY DETAILED OO9 SCALE MODEL KIT
Freelance Baldwin 0-4-2ST Locomotive - "Eddystone"
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 locomotives built the Baldwin Locomotive Works, Pennsylvania. The design is of a saddle tank locomotive, with rear coal bunker and cab, to the same style/profile as similar to machines built by this manufacturer in the early twentieth century. You will need modelling tools (such as a craft knife and cutting board) adhesive and paints to assemble the kit. Includes a static chassis so that the model can be displayed on 9mm gauge track. Alternatively, the model can be powered using a Kato 057-201 chassis.
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 and a selection of detailing components with which to personalise the model. The model has a sprue on the inside of the saddle tank, on which are further detailing components. This sprue should be cut with approximately 2mm of the bar remaining at each side to act as a locator when the body is fitted to the chassis. Ponytruck wheel is included, and is a simple clip into the ponytruck, which itself clips to the drawbar pivot on the rear of the Kato chassis. The Kato 057-201 chassis requires no modification to fit.
