L.N.E.R. / B.R. B1 4-6-0
The B1 was a two-cylinder mixed-traffic locomotive designed by Edward
Thompson and first introduced in 1942. A grand total of 410 members
of this class was built before the construction programme came to an
end in1952. This superb kit allows the builder to incorporate many of
the detail differences between batches of B1's built by Darlington and
Gorton Works, North British and Vulcan Foundry. Newly retooled by DJH,
it now features a one-piece cast footplate and boiler/smokebox/firebox
assembly. All the outstanding features of Walter Hodgson’s original
design are retained, such as the optional fully functioning screw reverse
gear, opening smoke box door, working valve guides and lubricators.
Thanks to its unprecedented attention to detail, this kit builds up
into a true museum-quality model that requires only wheels, motor/gearbox,
paint and transfers to complete.
