3 1/2 inch gauge 9F castings & drawings - stock code 8443

Unmachined castings, drawings and a copy of the construction manual for a 3 1/2 inch gauge 9F "Evening Star" - serialised in "Model Engineer" magazine, the design was started by LBSC and completed, after his death in 1967, by Martin Evans.

With gunmetal cylinders, horns and axleboxes, locomotive and tender wheels there's enough castings here to see the build through to an air-running chassis stage with little extra expenditure other than time in the workshop and some stock material.

As ever, those helpful people at Model Engineers Laser can provide all manner of profiled parts to speed up the build, from frames and motionwork to cab and tender platework.
