Product Description
GWR standard gauge Simplex loco 15
At the end of WW1 Simplex experimented with a slightly modified armoured Simplex loco on a standard gauge chassis. After WW1 they simplified the body, creating a very open cabbed loco. It found use on both industrial and mainline railway systems. Alternative enclosed cabs offering more room were later either provided as standard, or were added by companies themselves. Many survived in to BR days, and examples of various types are preserved.
The GWR bought a Simplex loco with improved cab but open sides, in 1923 (numbered 15) followed by 4 shunters,with what some describe a garden shed appearance, numbered 23,24,26 and 27. All survived into BR, no 15 being scrapped in 1951, the others in 1960.
There were also many minor differences in locos, such as seats and fuel tank, so this is more generalised version.
No 15 was rarely photographed, only one photo being found, but similar official Motor Rail catalogue photos show virtually identical locos on sale at same time.
Model design has been adapted from other Simplex designs using photos.
Requires finishing off, wheels and mechanism etc.
Scale HO (1/87 3.5mm/ft)
