Kit Description
The kit comprises etched nickel silver etches for chassis, cab rear and roof with 3D printed parts for the rest. The Hackworth valve valve gear is quite easy to set up. Cylinders are 3D printed items with brass liners for the valve and piston rods.
Wheels, motor and gearbox are required. I used Alan Gibson 03 shunter wheels for the model above however other 14mm diameter wheelsets can be used. High Level Kits "hump shuter" gearbox or similar will work well.
Solder free valve gear rivets are supplied with the kit to aid in setting up the motion.
Note, we have these kits in stock please please allow for a few days for delivery as, depending on demand, we may need to print extra parts.
History
Built in 1921 by Kerr Stuart & Company of Stoke-on-Trent (UK), No. 4 ran on the Corris Railway until 1948 at which point the line closed. In 1951, after languishing at the Corris Railway, No. 4 was rescued and ended up at the Talyllyn Railway where it was subsequently restored to operational condition. Over the years, No.4 gained buffers and for a while sported a Giesel ejector chimney. Named as Edward Thomas by the Talyllyn Railway, No.4 has also operated under the guise of Peter Sam as created by the Rev. W. Awdry. For fans of The Railway Series, the Mid Sodor loco' Stuart was derived from No. 4 in original form.
A new build of this loco, No. 7, commissioned by The Corris Railway Society first steamed in 2005.
