This is a 3D printed item, using a fine ABS like resin and is a complete body (with separate roof, sand boxes and exhaust) to create an OO scale narrow gauge railway loco (4mm / foot) running on 9mm track.
This is a local community railway loco and was commissioned by a customer who had seen the OO9 version and was looking to add a 4mm example of the Kerr Stuart number 4415 in its later "as rebuilt" form with the MacLaren engine, revised exhaust, larger sand boxes and lowered cab to add to his OO9 gauge railway.
The original loco is currently owned by the Ffestiniog and Welsh Highland Railways Heritage Company and undergoing restoration.
Photos are of an example of the item as you will receive it (body, roof, exhaust and sand boxes).
These are genuine photos taken with a full frame 35mm SLR and not digital representations.
You simply need to remove the two formers from the base, remove the supports from the door and window openings and smooth the roof. The holes for brass rod will need a quick clean out with a drill bit and brass rod added (if required) to form the sand pipework. It is then ready to paint / attach the roof and exhaust / fit to the chassis (not supplied) and add the couplings (not supplied).
It is designed to run on a KATO 11-103 or KATO 11-109 chassis (not supplied) that simply clips into the body. It also uses two standard Peco GR-102 009 couplings (not supplied) that slot neatly into the bodywork.
Bear in mind the size of these items when looking at the detail in the photos. The loco body is 59mm long, 26 wide and 40mm high and scaled to 4mm to the foot.
Bear in mind the size of these items when looking at the detail in the photos. The loco body substantially bigger than our other miniature locos and is 100mm long, 43mm wide and 58mm high and scaled to 7mm to the foot.
It will be dispatched with Royal Mail 2nd Class with suitable protective packaging.
