KERR STUART 4415 (AS BUILT) NARROW GAUGE DIESEL [8A] (BODY ONLY) (OO9 Gauge 4mm scale)

This is a 3D printed item, using a fine ABS like resin and is a complete body (with separate roof and sand boxes) to create a OO scale narrow gauge railway loco (4mm / foot) running on 9mm track.

This is a local community railway loco running on 2' gauge and was commissioned by a customer who was looking to add an example of the Kerr Stuart number 4415 in its original "as built" form with the MacLaren-Benz engine, double exhausts and high level sand boxes to add to his OO9 gauge railway. 

The original loco is currently owned by the Ffestiniog and Welsh Highland Railways Heritage Company and undergoing restoration.

Photos 1 to 3 are of an example of the item as you will receive it. The remaining 7 photos are of the body mounted to a KATO chassis (available as an option) with PECO couplings and 0.5mm brass rod added (couplings, brass rod and track are not included in the sale). These are genuine photos taken with a full frame 35mm SLR and not digital representations. 

You simply need to remove the two formers from the base, remove the supports from the door and window openings, file / sand the bottom edge flat and smooth the roof. The holes for brass rod will need a quick clean out with a 0.5mm drill bit and brass rod added (if required) to form the sand pipework and operating rods. It is then ready to paint / attach the roof / fit to the chassis (not supplied) and add the couplings (not supplied).

It is designed to run on a KATO 11-103 or KATO 11-109 chassis (available as an option) that simply clips into the body. It also uses two standard Peco GR-102 009 couplings (not supplied) that slot neatly into the bodywork.

Bear in mind the size of these items when looking at the detail in the photos. The loco body is 59mm long, 26 wide and 40mm high and scaled to 4mm to the foot.
