4-6-0 Tender
This
is a completely new design for 5” gauge and is drawn up to the same exacting
standards as our BR 2-6-4 Tank. It will shortly be described in Engineering in
Miniature to complement the 2-6-4T. For this loco the frame stretchers and cab are
all supplied as laser cut sets and new lost wax cast steel horn blocks are available as an
alternative to the standard cast iron ones. The whole loco is finely detailed with
atomiser lubrication, rocking grate and ash pan dampers, working vacuum gear & steam
brakes on the loco and tender. CNC machined rods and valve gear will be available to
order.
