HIGHLY DETAILED OO9 SCALE MODEL KIT
Talyllyn Tattoo 0-4-2 Locomotive - Era's 1 and 2
2025 MkII kit
This is a detailed scale model kit for adult collectors. Not for children under 14 years old.
This model kit is inspired by locomotive 'Edward Thomas' (Number 4) on the Talyllyn Railway. It is a variation of the Kerr, Stuart & Co. Tattoo design, enlarged to 2' 3" gauge and with inside frames. This model represents the locomotive following its arrival on the railway in the 1950s and 60s.
ERA 1 - Original Cab, Traditional Chimney,
ERA 4 - Original Cab, Giesl Ejector Chimney, Smokebox Grab Handles
You will need modelling tools (such as a craft knife and cutting board) adhesive and paints to assemble the kit. There are 3 cavities in the bodyshell that can be filled with suitable ballast (such as Deluxe Materials Liquid Gravity) to increase the weight. Includes a static chassis so that the model can be displayed on 9mm gauge track. Alternatively, the model can be powered using a Bachmann Trains (USA) Peter Sam chassis.
This is a highly detailed 4mm scale kit built using our in house machines, with High Definition resin and build layers just 50 microns (0.05mm) thick. Whilst there is 'stepping' visible on the parts up close, this is not discernible once the kit is painted and/or from usual viewing distances. The parts have their main supports removed, though detailing and structural supports will remain to protect the parts in transit, and require removing prior to assembly. Some polishing and filing of the parts is required to provide a smooth finish. Clear (and varnished) resin windows are included, though you may wish to use clear plastic sheet (not included) if preferred.
This is a beginner's kit, and comprises a single large body shell, with separate cab piece. The Bachmann Trains Peter Sam chassis requires no modification to fit, but the body and running frame need removing.
The colour of the resin may differ from that shown in photographs.
