B17's almost here!
As the time for the delayed release draws near, we thought you might like to see pictures of the finished B17's, that are going into the 'book sets'
These models set a NEW 'Benchmark' in quality, detail and running.
Our model features the following new innovations for British N gauge;
* 'Super Creep' 5 pole skew wound motor
*Phospor Bronze self lubricating axe bushes
*Locomotive Drain cock piping
*Buffer beam lift ring holes
*2 different boilers depending on livery
*Separately applied loco AND tender handrails
And as if that wasn't enough, the model also features, RP25.72 darkened profile see through wheels with 7.4mm back to backs, 12 wheel pickup, etched brass nameplate, NEM coupler pockets and alternate couplers, NEM 651 6pin DCC socket and tender power and loco drive with tungsten boiler weight.
The initial B17's are only available as a 'book' set and will be released in 30 days time. Make sure your stockist has your order soon.
Single B17's will be available approximately 30 days later.
