5 inch gauge Southern U Class 2-6-0

When listing the only other Southern U class we've had, in April this year, we remarked on how rare a model it was. Now - like waiting for a bus and then two arriving - up pops another one, built to Martin Evans' "Ashford" design.

Includes a commercially built silver soldered copper boiler by Morewood with original hydraulic test certificate; machined driving, coupled and tender wheels; part-machined cylinders; a quantity of unmachined castings; drawings, and copies of the construction articles.

Our friends at Model Engineers Laser list a comprehensive range of profiled parts for the design, including brass platework for cab and running boards as well as a "fast build" tender kit.

Includes free UK shipping.
