New kits under development
We are currently working on a number of patterns, the most advanced of which are;-…..
LBSCR /SR /BR ‘J’ class 4-6-2T.
There were two only of these magnificent tank locomotives, one with inside Stephenson valve-gear,
the other with outside Walshaert’s gear. Both operated some of the Brighton line’s crack expresses in
their early years, gradually being relegated to less glamorous roles, & ending their working lives at
Tunbridge Wells West shed, in early BR times. This kit will be designed to fit on the Hornby ‘B12’
chassis, & will feature alternative cabs, chimneys & domes.
LNER/BR ‘Claud Hamilton’ 4-4-0
Representing this class as rebuilt with ‘D&J’ round-topped boiler & plain footplate, (This being the
most common type to make it into BR livery). This kit, for the loco body only, will be based upon
the Hornby ‘2P’ chassis. Initially, this will be the tender-driven variety until we can examine the
forthcoming motorised version & see if it fits.. (Alternatively, use an etched chassis kit from our
friends at Comet Models) You will need a Hornby ‘B12’ tender, plus a short-wheelbase tender-drive
unit from a ‘Compound’ or ‘Patriot’…
LTSR/MR/LMS/BR ‘51’ class 4-4-2 & ‘69’ class 0-6-2 ‘Tilbury Tanks’
Designed by Thomas Whitelegg, these locos had somewhat differing histories, most of the 4-4-2’s
eventually migrating to Nottinghamshire, (one was even tried on the Somerset & Dorset line), while the
0-6-2’s spent their lives mostly operating freight services on the line for which they were built.
It is intended to release both of these kits simultaneously, as they will share many components in
common.
These may have to be produced with dedicated chassis kits, unless a reasonably accurate ready-to-run
substitute comes along in the meantime. We plan to supply alternative smokebox doors & other boiler
fittings to enable most periods to be modelled.
