Decals include; LNER lettering, Railgun name and wagon weight.

 

I'm hoping it's a 'yes' for the plough.

The second test print on the LNER Armoured F4 loco body came off the printer this morning.

 

The model is based on loco No. 7072, which was one of fifteen F4’s loaned to the Army between 1939 & 1945 to haul Coastal Defence Trains.

 

No. 7072 formed Armoured Train ‘B’ and worked in the Canterbury area.

 

The body is designed to fit on the Bachmann L&YR 2-4-2 chassis, so it not a true scale reproduction of the F4 loco as it is 4mm longer then an accurate F4 to accommodate the longer chassis. This additional length has been taken up in the boiler and armoured cladding. While it might not be for the purist, it is a reasonable compromise.

 

We also working on the 4 wagons that made up the rest of the Coastal Defence Train and hope to have the full kit available in a few months.

First full assembly of the Coastal Defence Train.

 

There are a couple minor alterations required to the wagon under frames to improved the printing, but apart from that it went together very nicely.

 

The kit will include armoured F4 loco body, which is designed to fit on the Bachmann L&YR 2-4-2 loco chassis. Along with the four wagons, which will come with wheels and couplings.

 

Price is still to be confirmed, but is expected to be around the £90 mark.

We're slowly working our way through the pipeline projects and this week we finished off the High Speed Nose Cone kit for 'Zebedee'.

 

In 1970 Class 86 No. E3173 (86 204), nickname 'Zebedee', was selected by the British Rail Research Division for high speed trials and fitted with a fibreglass nose cone as part of aerodynamic testing for the APT projects.

 

This is kit is one we've developed from a customers request. It included nose cone, camera box and 'stainless' logo and cab side numbers. It fits onto the Hornby class 86 'Phoenix' model, replacing the No.2 cab end.

 

The kit will be on sale shortly, priced at £15.50. (+P&P)

 

If you're interested in one, drop us a email to info@niumodels.co.uk

I've no firm data on that other then Zebedee was use as test loco between 1970 and 1973. 

[NiuModels]

We have another completed today.

 

BR Class 13 conversion kit.

 

The Class 13 was introduced in 1965 and used at Tinsley Yard for hump shunting.

3 locos where built and where basically a pair of Class 08 shunters permanently coupled in 'master and slave' formation, with the slave unit having had its cab removed.

This is designed to fit on the Hornby ‘super detailed’ model.

 

Parts include slave cab, buffer beam plates and coupling rod.

 

It will be available at the end of the month. Price TBC.

Fantastic!  Thanks.

Does the Zebedee require modifications to the loco body eg bits chopped off so it can’t be returned to original condition?

 

That class 13 kit looks good, will have to get one.

[45568]

Good to see you up and running again! Is there any chance of the K5 conversion being produced?

Thanks in advance,

The number 2 end cab forward of the doors needs removing. Also the the buffers needs removing from the number 2 end of the chassis.

Looks really good and I will have to get one when they are available. I have two Hornby donors that I bought with a plan to do my own conversion.

Following on from the ‘stainless steel’ cab side numbers we are doing for E3173, we had a couple customer requested for A4 Stainless Steel numbers and letters for the Coronation A4’s.

 

Photos below are a set we’ve produced for 4498 ‘Sir Nigel Gresley’ and fitted to the Hornby ‘Great Snipe’ model.

 

The numbers and tender letters attached to a support frame which sets height and spacing. Once glued in place, they sit 0.5mm proud of the body.

 

The kit includes a pair of cab side numbers and a pair of LNER tender letters.

 

Numbers are available for all 10 A4’s that carried stainless numbers.

 

Price £5.50 per kit (+ p&p)

Excellent news! Are the steel ones the same basic dimensions as the later builds, as seen here?: https://paulbartlett.zenfolio.com/snowplough/h36c3d1ca

 

I seem to recall that the later builds we're similar to one of the earlier steel designs apart from a few details (flush cabin sides  etc.) Not sure if it was the U20 though.
