Product Description
This is a body of a Furness Railway J1 Class locomotive.
Rescaled from 4mm up to 7mm & 0 Gauge.
It has undergone some small detailing changes as a result to improve accuracy.
The FUD version is more crisp and smooth compared to the WSF/BSF options.
Note: As of yet there is no backhead (cab control) detail as the computor and programs were majorly lagging and hanging up then glitching due to the file size being too large, as a result the backhead and alternative chimneys have been added as a seperate purchase.
The model as standard is fitted with the smallest chimney out of the alternatives (available seperately from SCC),
Smokebox darts have had to be removed yet a turned brass one will look best anyway.
Rather than model the alternative chimneys with the base as is often done they are designed with the main shanks to slot into the base instead - this ensures the lip isn't overly fat like on many kits and RTR examples. If however you would like to obtain some of the chimneys with the base all as one piece to add on to another engine or whatever please ask and it will be done.
Add your own hand rails, couplings and brake pipes. A few pipe runs and bits have been left off as they will model better using brass wire or similar, the coal rails are optional as some engines didn't have them so simply cut them off if you don't want them.
There are four Furness pattern lamp irons at the front, one of the middle two will need clipping and filing off. Both configurations are correct yet photographs show them to differ so please refer to your research to determine which needs chopping for your particular variant. If you are not fussed then either will do.
In front of the smokebox there is a hole in the running plate towards the headstocks as seen in photographs. An optional cover has been added on the sprue with the buffers.
