The ‘14xx’ was a
subject we wished to model for many reasons. We were seeking a model which was pleasing to the eye and of a size that made it both portable and suitable for home display. We also wanted an engine powerful enough to be a credible track performer. In the ‘14xx’ we have found all the above, but also something extra - a beautiful locomotive which represents for many the very essence of Great Western branch line steam. Your finished model will provide as much pleasure on completion as satisfaction while building. The unpainted kit provides you with the ultimate choice of livery - Great Western, B.R. black or passenger lined green - your finishing touch making the model uniquely your creation. Although many will delight in simply displaying the model this is a working locomotive designed to pull a number of adults with ease. At under 31" long it is portable in the typical family car and you won't need much help when lifting and handling. |
The kit comes complete with detailed assembly drawings which clearly identify components by their unique parts numbers. Each individual part is identified by this number. Customers will have access to a helpline number should advice on construction, running or maintenance be required at any stage. Your kit will contain instructions on driving and maintaining your steam locomotive. To build a model of this quality from raw castings could take even an experienced model engineer over 1000 hours - perhaps many years in elapsed time. To commission a one-off build from a professional builder of reputation would involve a considerable on-cost to the price at which we offer this model. CNC batch production delivers excellent quality at a very competitive price - providing confidence in the future value of your locomotive over many years of proud ownership. The following pages contain illustrations of each kit and a full parts listing. In addition we are able to provide photographs of the staged build from start to finish to demonstrate the fast and sure progress you can make as you build as you buy. |
In summary the specification of the model is as follows: |
