Product Description
This is a 00 scale model of the 1830s Liverpool & Manchester Railway locomotive Planet, a replica now existing at the Manchester Museum of Science and Industry. Upgraded with finer detail, this model originated as a jumbo-ised N Gauge engine, suitably altered to 00 tolerances and to fit proprietary parts so enabling simple construction. The matching motorised tender is separately available.
Note: A separate more basic detail version is also available in Natural Versatile Plastic.
