'Darjeeling Himalayan Class B'
This is another of Pete McParlin's Backwoods Miniatures 009 kits. Beautiful little loco and an exceptionally well designed kit. Maily etched, the clever design puts a solid cast boiler straight over the driving wheels. The motor and the first stage of the gearbox is part of the cab with the final drive being in the chassis. Sounds strange but works a dream in practice. The valve gear is a little tricky but by no means impossible - just follow the excellent instructions to the letter and you can't really go wrong
