Product Description
Clayton Equipment have produced surface and underground locomotives for UK and overseas customers for 90 years. The company now specialise in bespoke, modular designs of 0-4-0, Bo-Bo and Bo-Bo-Bo diesel, battery and hybrid locomotives. In 2015 Clayton were awarded a contract by the London Crossrail (Elizabeth Line) project to design and manufacture seven 40 tonne low-emission diesel locomotives, which were delivered in early 2016. Several photos of these striking modern locos can be found on Flickr and a video of running tests can be found below.
NOTES
UPDATE HISTORY
NOTES
- This body-shell is designed to fit the Kato 11-109 chassis. Simply remove the body-retaining hooks from above the steps on each side of the Kato chassis (see photograph).
- Buffer beams with buffers are printed within the body-shell and can either replace the Kato beams, (giving the loco a more accurate overall length) or simply be attached to the unmodified Kato chassis.
- An exhaust stack is also provided. .
- Handrails are printed within the bodyshell at the minimum thickness supported. Etched nickel-silver Guard Rails from N Brass Locos might also be suitable.
- Join printed parts to each-other using cyanoacrylic adhesive (eg Superglue). Printed parts should be attached to the Kato nylon chassis using epoxy adhesive (eg Araldite) after roughening the mating surfaces.
- The body shell is a snug fit so some careful filing might be required to sit it properly on the chassis.
- Shapeways' recommendations for cleaning, preparing and finishing Fine Detail Plastics can be found here.
