Blue Max Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 Is there or has there ever been a kit for the GNR/LNER R1 0.8.2 Tank loco in 4mm scale. Could do with a couple of these loco's for a project. S. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

twiggyforest2 Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 There was a R1 loco kit advertised by Zenith Models a few years ago but unfortunately the gentleman passed away before it was released. The guy at CSP (Roger Slade) had a chassis and a test etch of the body which a friend of mine acquired and built a beautiful model. Bill Bedford once advertised what loco kits people wanted and I think I was the only one to show an interest. If you want a couple of kits and I want 2/3 that's 5 towards the project towards the total Bill needs to make it viable. Regards John Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might it be conceivable that R1 artwork was part of the material which Ian Young took over when CSP passed to him? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Max Posted February 13, 2017 Author Share Posted February 13, 2017 Zenith were in the process of bringing out a number of interesting kits, I had a GNR Q1 and a H&B Q10 kit off Paul before he sadly passed away. He did offer me the GCR Q4 to test build and he sent me images of the GNR R1 and H&B J23 both part built. Walsworth Models were involved in supplying Zenith kits to the UK for a while and there was then a suggestion that they would become available through Roxey Mouldings but I do not think this went anywhere.
