Bring the historical charm of a steam locomotive to your model railway with our easy-to-build kit inspired by the Andrew Barclay "Tom Rolt" locomotive.
It is designed so that it easily clips onto a Kato 11-109 motor bogie chassis. It comes with separate interior detail and driver and mate and OO9 couplings so it can be easily painted and assembled. The Kato chassis can be carefully removed if you want to use it again on something else.
The Tom Rolt narrow gauge steam locomotive was built by the Talyllyn Railway using original components from a 1949 Andrew Barclay locomotive, previously made for Bord na Móna. A unique and historic piece of railway engineering, perfect for collectors or enthusiasts.
Our kit features a high-quality, resin-printed chassis that clips easily onto a Kato 11-109 motor bogie chassis (not included), allowing you to quickly and easily create a stunning model. The body is designed for easy painting prior to assembly, and we've included an interior piece depicting the boiler and 3D-scanned figures of a driver and engineer for added realism. Whether you're an experienced railway modeller or just starting out, this kit is a great addition to your collection. It comes unpainted and unassembled, ready for you to add your own personal touch with halfords or tamiya primer followed by acrylic paints.

The chassis plate is designed in such a way to clip easily onto a Kato 11-109 motor bogie chassis. The Kato chassis can be carefully removed if you want to use it again on something else.
We print our own models here in the UK using high detail resin. The sale is for the kit chassis, body, driver, engineer and cab interior, it is unpainted. The pictures showing the Kato chassis are for information purposes only, you will need supply one. See our shop for suitable motor chassis.
Finishing: All items are cleaned and cured by hand. They are unassembled and ready for you to prime and paint. We do our very best to remove support marks but some fine sanding may be required. All pieces and parts come unprimed and unpainted with all supports removed. Please do bear in mind that resin can be quite delicate so try to avoid dropping your parts! Sadly, we can't be held responsible for breakages once your item has arrived. However, if the piece is broken in the post, please provide images and we will of course see what we can do to help.
