CSP40 Peckett W4 Class 0-4-0ST "Hercules" BR (W) .

£95.00
Qty:

This a slight deviation from the theme of GWR absorbed engines, this kit produces a model of the BR (Western Region) acquired loco known as “Hercules” “No. 1”. The loco was in fact a pretty standard “W4” Peckett, taken into BR stock in 1948 and overhauled at Danygraig when it acquired a GW safety valve bonnet and had the number 1 painted on the cabsides and buffer beam. The nameplate was only on the LH cabsheet.

CSP MODELS – MOTORISING KIT

In order to complete this kit you will require the following parts: -

Wheels and Axles – we supply Alan Gibson but can provide Markits, if they have them available. If you would prefer Markits wheels please ensure you let us know.

Crankpins - to suit the make of wheels.

Gearbox – High Level is our standard. Some kits do include a motor mounting etch which is suitable for Markits 38:1 gears (our stocks of gears are exhausted). Etch is available on request, while stocks last.

Motor – with the demise of Mashima motors we have sourced a suitable replacement CORELESS motor that has a special worm produced for the smaller diameter shaft, by Chris Gibbon of High Level. He has been suitably impressed by the motor performance.

The cost of our kit shows a saving compared to purchasing the parts individually.

Used kit as the basis for an Avonside (N0.3 from Sharpness Docks).
Not a kit for the feint hearted. Check all clearances and make sure etched tab slots are ok for fitting.
You need considerable skill to build, especially cutting out clearances for the motor and gearbox.
It makes a supurb model that really looks the part.
Don't be shy, it will make you a model to be proud of.
