N Gauge Northumbrian Loco Scratch Aid

This is an N Gauge model of a Liverpool & Manchester Railway ‘Northumbrian’ class locomotive – the developmental link between ‘Rocket’ and ‘Planet’ and the first commercial class to operate on this important railway.  Combined with the N Gauge Northumbrian tender (separately available), this scratch aid enables an unpowered free-rolling model engine that can be used with the various motorised coaches/trucks also available.  

The following additional parts need to be sourced separately to complete (web links given as examples only):

Graham Farish Jinty driving wheels (available as spares); 10.5mm diameter including flange, 1.5mm axle
