'Peckett 2-4-2T 'Selsey'
Selsey is one of Pete Stamper's 'Agenoria' kits. This kit follows the usual format i.e. etched brass body, nickel silver chassis and a mix of lost wax and whitemetal castings.
This one came part built to a 'fortunately' good standard. The frames had been assembled as had the footplate. Unusually for a 7mm loco, the recommended motor is a Mashima 1424 but I opted to fit a 1624 instead along with the recommended Ultrascale 40:1 gears.
This kit provides for all the variants of the loco throughout its life so careful attention to the instructions and any photos I could find was the order of the day.
Customer requirement was to leave painting at the primer stage as he wants to apply the final livery himself. To this end, the cab roof, backhead, coal bunker cover and dome/ safety valves are all removable.
