Locolines Kerr Stuart Shunter

Post by SillyBilly » Mon Jun 09, 2008 4:33 pm

Hello,
Another new Locolines kit, based on the 0-6-0 Kerr Stuart diesel (often refered to as the Stephenson's Rocket of diesel locos), even though the model is an 0-4-0 and suitably proportioned to this wheel arrangment I looks to be another great model from locolines. £25 inc. chassis may I add, already ordered mine!

On an equally high note, this is the forum's 6000th post, another milestone hit!

You have so many un-built locos I have lost count, why not build some?

So true, so true. It's getting to the rally season thought when all the steam toys take front seat over the railway stuff ;)

You could easily build one Locolines kit in a evening or two, provided you manage your time well and have the correct tools.

I've re-built my chassis using a different technique (more patience), is great now!

I'm thinking about making a removable chassis.

Bog standard, made my own spacers between the gearbox and chassis for the 32mm Whickham chassis, and with the 45mm Ivor chassis I only had to make new spacers for between the gearbox.
