Ex GWR 64xx 0-6-0PT
This loco was built from a whitemetal kit produced some time ago by Acorn Models under the 'Castle Kits' Label. All the body parts are reasonable quality castings (quite a lot of flash but fit well after cleaning up) mounted on a standard design etched brass chassis. The usual Slaters wheels, Mashima 1833 motor and 40:1 gearbox and plunger pickups account for the running gear. A sound chassis and all that weight made for a very stable, sweet running loco. The customer specified a particular running number and shed allocation, an email to Guilplates providing the required etched plates. The only addition to the standard kit spec was the addition of sprung buffers in place of the whitemetal ones supplied.
