Product Type:

Brass Kit

Finish:

unpainted

Notes:

The kit had a formed brass frame, brass boiler and cab, with cast-resin steam chest, firebox, smoke box, and tender. It was a "spartan" kit so the owner was to detail it with S Scale Locomotive & Supply parts. The problem with this engine's design was that it used steel tires on plastic spoke drivers with "D" end axles. Over time the axles wore larger holes in the plastic and the drivers became loose and "wobbly". The mechanism was then prone to locking up because the drivers were no longer properly quartered.

Notes:

These early kits were composed of wood turnings for the boiler, and embossed card stock for the cab and tender. The 1937 kits did not come with a motor, but starting in 1938 they came with a Bowser (brand-new company at the time) motor. The tender trucks are C-D trucks of metal castings with turned-steel wheels for electrical pickup. The tender itself is a wood box with an embossed paper wrapper glued around it.

This model is powered by a Pittman motor

These photos were published in the summer of 1964 issue of S Gauge Herald. Bill Boucher super-detailed this model.
