Our latest
kit which will be available at Scalefour Crewe
is for the
GER/LNER J19/2 0-6-0. The J19/2 was the final
development of the T77 class designed by A.J. Hill and built by the
Great Eastern Railway between 1912 and 1920. These powerful freight
locomotives were synonymous with the GE/NE Joint line but could be found
in all corners of the ex-GER network and the M&GN. The kit, which can be
built in OO, EM or P4, features a resin printed boiler/round-top firebox
and tender, representative inside motion and an etched compensated
chassis. |

Austerity/LNER J94 0-6-0ST kit |

GER J16/J17 0-6-0 and tender
kit |

GWR 3150 2-6-2T. This
is a completely new kit to the highest possible standards. It represents the engines as rebuilt from 1919 onwards, with larger
(deeper) bunkers, longer smokeboxes and superheated boilers. |

This kit produces
a complete finescale chassis in either EM or P4 for the Dapol
GWR 43/53/63xx
2-6-0 model first released in late 2020. It only requires a locomotive
body and a tender (which are available as spares) and not a complete Dapol locomotive. |

Produced for
us by Andy Vincent of Meon Valley Models, these are the best 4mm scale
3D-printed wagons that we have ever seen. They even have
"readable" lettering on the axlebox covers!
The bodies have full interior detail on sides and floor and are designed to fit onto our
etched brass
sprung wagon
underframes;
axleboxes and buffers are included.
There are
14
types for Gloucester Railway Carriage & Wagon opens, two Charles Roberts 16ft, two RCH 1923
7-plank and two RCH 1923 8-plank wagons and Midland Railway D299 and
D351 opens. The latest
is for a Stephenson Clarke 16ft 6-plank open.

RCH 1923 Morton braked 9ft
wooden solebar sub-frame. It is designed
to fit under Slaters, Cambrian and Parkside wagons and includes
finely detailed
single-sided brakes activated from both sides.
Other easy-to-assemble
sprung sub-frames for the RCH
1907, RCH 1923 and Gloucester 9ft wheelbase Private Owner wagons
and RCH 1932 10ft
Morton braked steel or wooden underframe wagons are also available. All
types
incorporate springing as standard. |

3-link couplings |
 |
We have sourced some very fine,
pre-blackened chain
which can be paired with our coupling hook etches to produce superb 3-link couplings.
The chain is
available in two types - scale and fine, and with either copper or iron links. |

Martin Finney 4mm scale kits
|
|
We
have parts to make-up most of the former Martin Finney range of 4mm kits
- six
LSWR/SR locomotives
and three tenders, fifteen
GWR
locomotives and three tenders, four
LNER locomotives and four
tenders and two
LSWR van kits.
Please email us if you wish to buy any of these because we do not keep
complete kits for all of these in stock and may have to pack a kit to order
and purchase any components needed for the kit. In the latter case we
will require payment up front before we order the components to complete
the kit.
The parts stocks
for the LNER and LSWR/SR kits are almost
exhausted and we will give details of the last few of each kit when we have assessed the position
and packed the kits.
We no longer sell 4mm and 2mm etched windows, track detailing
components, 4mm
coupling rods and axle spacing and buffer height gauges.
These were discontinued at the end of 2023 and are now
with London Road Models. |

We have included many
photographs of completed models and these take the form of thumbnail pictures
which, when clicked, open out to full size photographs which can be
viewed in (sometimes excruciating) close-up.
For most of our range, we have
downloadable instructions and pictures of the etches where appropriate. |
