The picture is the original build in the now (for this model) discontinued WSF material, details have been improved since.
This is a body of a 4mm / 1/76 model of a Furness Railway K2 Locomotive, more accurately known as the 21 Class.
BODY INSTRUCTIONS: The Reverser Rod, is located under the boiler. This needs to be cut off and added to the post sticking out from the left side in front of the front splasher and joined to the hole in the cab front. You will notice to the left of the smokebox saddle on the running plate is a sprued pipe - again, cut this off and add it to the side of the smokebox approximately a millimetre or two above the handrail pillar hole. Some 0.7-1.2mm rod made from plastic, brass or nickel silver is to be joined to this with a small split pin as a handrail pillar situated roughly halfway along the boiler, above the handrail pillar hole that is above the main splasher.
The rear of this pipe needs to be bent slightly into a reverse curve before it reaches the front of the cab sheet. Please refer to prototype photographs for more. Hand rail pillars and 0.45mm brass or nickel silver rod are also needed.
At the rear of the cab are 'cab beading' protrusions on some designs that need some 0.45mm metal rod adding downwards for a handrail.
You will find the smokebox door and buffers sprued - simply cut them out and position them as desired.
Similarly the guard irons are located under the running plate at the front on sprue. Cut these off and add them to the front of the buffer beam at the distance dictated by your chosen wheel gauge. With a little tweaking some RTR examples may be able to fit underneath this body. Alternatively Chassis are designed and available in this shop along with suitable Coupling Rods in Raw Brass.
CHASSIS INSTRUCTIONS: Please see the Chassis themselves for more information.
