00-gauge ex-GNR/LNER Ivatt N1 tank engine body only. The locomotive has been modelled on a British Railways-era superheated boiler example no. 69478 without condensing equipment.
This body has been designed to fit a Hornby/Dapol/Airfix Gresley N2 chassis. Some minor modifications will be required.
To complete you will need: a Gresley N2 motorised chassis (Hornby/Dapol or Airfix), handrail knobs and wire, whistle, safety valves, smokebox door dart. You will also need to fashion steps from thin styrene sheet or brass. The model will also need to be prepared, painted and transfers applied. Cosmetic non-working buffers are included on a seperate sprue but these can be substituted for sprung brass versions (available from
Alan Gibson) if preferred.
