Product Description
A commission piece, this item is a 00 Scale rendition of William Dean’s 1881 experimental 4-2-4 express tank No. 9 – the only standard gauge GWR example of this wheel arrangement. With the associated parts (separately available), this scratch aid will help make a complete operational model.
IMPORTANT: while most models available here have been pre-tested and known to work, this scratch-aid has not been printed/tested by myself, so while the measurements appear correct it is considered strictly experimental.
(The model is offered in WSF and FED; the former is cheaper but with a coarser finish while the latter is more expensive but with crisper detail.)
