This is a OO9 Diesel loco based around the Armstrong Whitworth Diesel Electric Loco and requires a KATO 109 (11-109) chassis which easily clips into place into the chassis.
These were first built around the 1930's as an answer to Steam shunters of the time. Only a few prototypes were built and never really achieved the sales expected.
The main body is a drop fit onto the sub-chassis and allows for painting prior to assembly. In addition there is a separate control unit and two figures. These once painted can be glued in place (with superglue). As space is tight you might want to snip one of their feet off, you'll see this when you dry assemble due to the Kato chassis intruding into the cab.
Supplied as well is brass rod for the cab handles which have holes ready to fit. Also supplied is glazing for the windows and two couplings to replace the Arnold couplings on a Kato chassis that work with the PECO narrow gauge couplers.
The kit is printed using high detail resin in the UK. The kit also comes with the two 3D scanned figure and glazing for the windows.
The sale is for the body, sub-chassis, glazing and two realistic 3d scanned figures based on real people. It is unpainted and supplied without the KATO chassis, the pictures of which are shown for information only. Likewise in the video, the diorama case, track and wagons are not included. See our listing for the diorama case as that is something we supply
