45mm gauge LMS 2P 4-4-0

A 45mm gauge spirit-fired LMS 2P 4-4-0, adapted from the popular "Project" 4F design.

We've hydraulic tested the boiler and issued certification for the same.

On air the chassis runs in desultory fashion, showing symptoms of back pressure in the cylinder.

The unpainted wheels & frames in bright silver at the base working up to black overspray under the running boards is an interesting choice, giving the model an unnerving and vaguely ethereal quality - given the application of the black livery topside, we'd be tempted to dismantle it, put the whole lot into a tray of thinners and start again.
