DJH K30. Ref: KIT100096
DJH, White Metal Kit Built Model of a British Railways Peppercorn A1 Class 4-6-2 Locomotive and Tender, No. 60161 "North British". Locomotive is finished in British Railways lined green livery. The tender which is a none corridor type carries the lion over wheel early emblem. This is a kit built model with scale wheels. Built to a very high standard, it is a lovely paint finish. It appears to be etched brass name plates with crest and it carries again a metal headboard which reads "The Elizabethan". It carries shed codes 64B and also etched metal works plates below the running numbers on the cab sides. The model has full back head detail. The brass framing on the drivers windows are picked out. The model itself is finished to a super standard. There are no couplings fitted to the loco. It would be something you would have to make an arrangement yourself on the tender which shouldn't be too difficult. The only point I would raise on an otherwise completely professionally finished and painted model is the running number has been incorrectly applied to one side only. One side is correct 60161 the other side reads 61061, obviously the builder was slightly dyslexic. If you can live with it it is fine if you can't then it would have to be changed. Model comes in its original box.

Millholme Models MM8. Ref: KIT100095
Millholme Models, OO Gauge Kit Built Model of a LMS Ivatt 2-6-0 Mogul Locomotive, "Mucky Duck", No. 43008 in British Railways part lined black livery with small early lion over wheel emblem to the tender. The model has Walschaerts valve gear. It is finished to a high standard. It has a permanently coupled tender which can be unscrewed if necessary. There is also tender pick ups as well as loco pick ups. It is a smooth runner. There is a wealth of extra detail, plenty of pipework, plumbing etc. It is fitted with proper buffer beam details to the front end including screw link couplings. The tender has a Tri-ang type bar coupler at the rear. It has full back head detail. It has been built as I said previously to a very high standard and the paint finish is also extremely good. I would grade it as a B+ or better in an original box which is condition B.

Millholme Models MM2 Ref: KIT100088
Millholme Models, a white metal kit-built model of an ex-LMS Patriot Class 4-6-0 Locomotive and Tender, No.45517 in British Railways lined green livery with the late BR emblem to the tender, which has a coal rail. The model has been built to a reasonable standard. It is fitted with vacuum pipes, handrails, front and rear lamps and Peco or Hornby Dublo style couplings, which are showing signs of surface rust. There is a little glue residue around the coal rail, where it may have come adrift and then re-attached. I've had the model running and it performs smoothly at fast and slow speeds. And it feels powerful. I'm not sure what motor it has, but it is fitted with scale wheels and pick-ups on all six driving wheels and a pair of the tender wheels. The solder work on the chassis looks a bit on the heavy side, but viewing the model from above, it appears that a good construction job has been done. The paint finish is reasonable, although I think it could have been done better. It's an acceptable model - condition is B. It comes in its original box, which is in condition B.

K's Kit Ref: K100020
K's, LMS Beyer-Garratt 2-6-6-2 Locomotive, No.7982 in LMS plain unlined black livery. This is a white metal kit that has been constructed to a reasonably good standard. It has twin motors and a good representation of the mechanical stoker that these locos were fitted with. This one has chain-link couplings. The numbering has been done to a good standard. The real locos were mostly allocated to Toton, working heavy coal trains in the Nottinghamshire coalfields. It really is a very large model. There might be further scope for some enhancements in terms of detailing. As it stands, it is a good representation of a distinctive and powerful class. I've had the loco running on the test-track in the workshop - and it is a good runner. It is very heavy, so its pulling power should be excellent.

Kit Built Locomotive. Ref: KIT100084
Kit Built, this is a D21 Class 4-4-0 Locomotive and Tender, No. 1245 in plain unlined LNER black livery. Known under the North Eastern Railway as Class R1 they were built in Darlington in 1908/1909 and were a development of the Class D20 type. This kit is a very good runner, looks to me like a Tri-ang L1 style chassis but it is smooth and quiet. The body of the loco is die cast white metal and is very heavy. The build quality is reasonable and it is plain black so there is not much that can go wrong with that really, it looks the part. Could probably do with some back head detail to enhance the model slightly. With the exception of that it is an interesting subject reasonably well executed. I would grade it as a good condition B to B+.

Kit Built. Ref: KIT100086
Kit Built, A white metal kit of a OO Gauge Q6 Class 0-8-0 Tender Locomotive, No. 3459 in LNER plain unlined black livery. The Q6 was a Vincent Raven design with the first one being made in 1913 or constructed in 1913. No. 3459 was the very last of the class. This model has been reasonably well constructed and reasonably well painted. It is actually very attractive and unusual motive power. If I was to be super critical there is a very slight undulation in the running plate, possibly more so on one side than the other but I suppose the essential criteria is does it look right, and it does, it certainly looks the part. Coal has been added to the tender. There is crew on the footplate. The tender is missing a coupling hook but apart from that though a very interesting model. I would grade it as condition B, possibly B to B+.

Kit Built Ref: KIT100039
Kit Built, Class 20 Bo-Bo Diesel Electric Type 1 Locomotive, No.D8059 in British Railways green livery with small yellow panel. The loco is fitted with discs. I'm not sure whether this model is kit-built or scratch-built, possibly the latter. It's not a bad job. It has a central motor driving both power bogies and it picks up on all four axles. It has sort of continental style couplings, although at one end there is no coupling and just buffer beam detail. You can see through the nose grilles, which is a very attractive feature. But there is something not quite right about the loco - whether the bogies are too small, or the loco body is a bit on the high side - I can't make my mind up. I would grade its condition as B to B+. An interesting model. It is unboxed.

Kit Built Locomotive. Ref: KIT100085
Kit Built, Class Q4 0-8-0 Tender Locomotive, No. 3216 in plain unlined LNER black livery. Q4 was a Robinson Great Central design first introduced in 1902. No. 3216 was a Barnsley Locomotive. It is kit built, it is white metal on a kit built chassis. It is an extremely smooth runner, it has been geared to run quite slowly which is obviously correct for the class. Construction is reasonable and the paint job also is reasonable. Loco does have back head detail. Around the cab roof both at the front as you look at it from the smoke box end of the loco and round the sides there is a bit of glue residue, it is possible the cab roof has been reattached at some point I am not entirely sure, I would touch that up I think with black paint. Apart from that it is a very interesting subject and reasonably well executed.

Kit Built Ref: KIT100059
Kit Built, Johnson 1F Class 0-6-0 Tank Locomotive, No.41687 in LMS plain unlined black livery. This is a white metal kit built loco on a brass chassis. It appears to have a Triang motor and chromed wheels (initially I thought these were Triang, but I don't recall Triang making them like this). It actually runs quite well, although it is a little sticky - but a small amount of adjustment would result in it being an acceptable runner. The finish is not too bad, although the paint finish isn't so hot. The chassis is also loose under the body and would require a screw to hold it in place. Another point is that while the prototype was running, it would have been numbered 1687 and would not have sported the BR number that this model carries - although it's possible that it might have had the LMS on the side at the same time. A basic kit that's been built basically well - I would grade it as B- to B. Unboxed.

Kitbuilt. Ref: KIT100070
Kitbuilt, 0-4-0 Diesel Shunter Locomotive, this is a brass kit which has been constructed and is finished in pale blue with a circular logo to the cab sides, the buffer beams are painted in red, it is fitted with sprung buffers and couplings which are similar to Hornby Dublo or Peco. It is in good running order, it has a good quantity of detail including handles for the bonnet panels and handrails, chimney etc. I am not entirely sure what the prototype is supposed to be, it is an industrial shunter, similar examples could be found all over the UK. The construction is reasonable, there is a very slight air gap between the top of the cab and the cab roof and there are a couple of spots or marks on the glazing on one side but still interesting. I would grade it as condition B, it is a fine runner.

Kit Built Ref: KIT100065
Kit Built, Princess Royal Class 4-6-2 Locomotive and Tender, No.6202 in LMS plain maroon livery. This is the prototype loco from the LMS known as "The Turbomotive" with the unique turbine drive. It's certainly an interesting loco to look at, although I think it spoils the fine lines of the Princess Royal Class, but that's just a personal opinion. The construction has been well executed and reasonably well painted. Not a bad model at all really. It has fine scale wheels. I've had it running and its movement is a little jerky so it would probably require a small amount of attention to make it a smooth runner. With the current configuration, the tender is permanently coupled and wired for tender pick-up. I would grade the model's condition as B+. Box condition is B.

Kit Built, Class 08 Diesel Shunter Locomotive, No.D3514 in British Railways green livery with black and yellow hazard stripes. This is kit-built model of the popular shunter. It has a metal chassis, pick-ups to all six wheels, and brake detail. It's been reasonably well constructed, although the paint is a little on the heavy side. It's actually quite a detailed model. The body is a little loose on the chassis, but it's an extremely good runner and will go down to very low speeds. Depending on how you view it, it's possible that the chassis has a slight bow in it - I'm not sure if it's my eyes deceiving me or whether it is actually bowed. It has Hornby Dublo style couplings fitted. Overall, I would describe its condition as B. It's an interesting model, and wouldn't look too bad on any layout. Comes in an original box, which is also condition B.

Kit Built, Duke Class 4-4-0 Locomotive and Tender, No.9084 "Isle of Jersey" in Great Western unlined green livery with 'Great Western' to the tender sides. This is a white metal kit built loco with what looks like a brass chassis. It is in full working order. It has been reasonably well constructed although it is a little lumpy here and there and perhaps the paint finish could have been slightly more professionally applied. But you get a good impression of the prototype pretty much. On one side of the loco where the hubs attach to the wheel shafts, there's a little solder to the motion - so this will probably need to be addressed. Lamps and handrails have been fitted and there's a shovel in the tender, which carries real coal. It's an interesting model that looks the part. It's in a non-original box.

Kit Built, Kirtley 2-4-0 Locomotive and Tender, No.67 in Midland Railway lined maroon livery. This design of this loco was around about the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century, and the locos were later re-built by Johnson. The model is a good example of kit building - it's been well constructed and well painted and is beautifully lined. It's in working order and has a custom chassis and scale wheels. The model is fitted with sprung buffers. Possibly the only criticism I would level is that the bosses on the motion are a little over-soldered, but really that is something that can be addressed. The armature of the motor and part of the magnet protrude into the cab area. The Midland Railway produced some beautiful locomotives and this is a fine model of one of them. Condition is B to B+. Comes in a non-original box.

Kit Built, etched brass kit-built model of an 0-4-0 Rushton Hornsby Diesel Mechanical Shunter, which appears to be un-numbered, in grey livery with red buffer beams. The loco has Hornby Dublo style couplings. It's loosely based on several very similar Rushton Hornsby locos, including Departmental no.83 and Departmental no.DS1169. It's a tiny loco. It does run, although it's a little jerky at slow speeds - it probably just needs a little lubrication. The paint finish is a little on the heavy side, but the construction is reasonable. There has, perhaps, been some detailing on the buffer beams, which has been taken off leaving a couple of marks that would need to be addressed. Still, a very unusual subject - perhaps one to tuck away at the back of the shed somewhere.

Kit Built, built from an Impetus brass etched metal kit, this is a Hudswell Clark 0-6-0 Diesel Mechanical Shunter, No.D2503 in British Railways plain green livery with the later style crest. The loco has an etched Hudswell nameplate to the bonnet just forward of the chimney. Ten of the prototype were built, all of which were allocated to the Liverpool and Birkenhead area, and withdrawn in 1967. The model has been finished to a reasonable standard, although the painting is a little on the heavy side. It has pick-up from all three axles. It's a good runner and runs extremely slowly. Model is fitted with Hornby Dublo style couplings. Overall, I would grade the construction as B to B+. Comes in an original box in condition B.

Kit built, Class 15 Bo-Bo Diesel Electric Type 1 Locomotive, No.E8204. Loco is painted in British Railways early green livery with small yellow warning panels. I cannot make my mind up whether this is a scratch-built model or whether it's based on a kit, either way it's been reasonably well manufactured and put together. Both ends of the vehicle carry the early disk-style train reporting method. It has metal sprung buffers and the later-style British Railways crest. One of the most noticeable things about it, which I like, is the fact that the front grills on the long bonnet are completely see-through, you can see through to the other side of the loco - very prototypical. It's mounted on a European Bo-Bo chassis, made I think by Mehanotehnika, Yugoslavia. An interesting model of an interesting prototype. Condition B. Unboxed.
