Product Description
LB&SCR E2 - Body (WSF) in 4mm / 1/76 scale
For a cheaper one (£48.89) in detail resin similar to Shapeways FUD/SFDP material please email sparkshot082@gmail.com.
This is a 4mm scale model of the London, Brighton & South Coast Railway (LB&SCR) E2 Locomotive.
The main motivation for the creation of the SCC E2's was to correct the errors and compromises made by previous manufacturers; as a result these freshly designed E2's are not shortened, the running plate curves are not over the top and they have the correct wheelbase.
Spectacle plates have been added to some as an optional extra. If you don't want them simply cut them off and file smooth - easy.
Please note - the prototype photographs sometimes showed the Smoke-Box to have rivets and other times none at all. For this reason this model has been designed as the smooth type to print better and provide a better canvas. Rivets can be added by buying transfer decals that have physical relief.
BODY INSTRUCTIONS: The Smoke-Box Door is located in front of its position by sprues, the two optional slide in cab doors are sprued under the cab, the cab roof is loose. The buffers are sprue joined underneath, this gives you the choice of using them or substituting them with metal ones from other manufacturers without having to hack them off a buffer beam.
If you use the supplied buffers please note that the buffer bases and buffer heads are slightly thicker than they should be due to printing tolerances so filing them back will bring it back to scale length.
The Boiler Pipe is located loose and this needs to be joined usually to the left hand side of the locomotive if you are to use it. Refer to prototype photographs.
You will need hand rail pillars or split pins and 0.45mm rod for the hand rails. To make the accurate positioning and fitting easier, holes have been slightly indented on the body; they just need drilling out.
Couplings are left for the user to decide based upon preference; just pop in your preferred coupling type.
To fit the chassis to the body, the rear simply slots in the body at an angle. The front is fixed via a screw or bolt that taps easily and is all that is needed, a nut can be glued in place inside the Smoke-Box Saddle if desired. This body shell can be fixed to several Ready To Run (RTR) chassis with a little tweaking, alternatively a fixed chassis is also available separately in 00 or P4.
