Further to the success of the Adams G6 and O2 kits, we are pleased to announce a new GWR Pannier Tank kit.

We use 3D printed laser hardened resin to make the body, cab and many accessories. These parts are comparable with injection moulding thus the finish is smooth and the detail is remarkable. The boiler, smokebox, firebox and tanks are one print, as is the cab which has a fully detailed backhead and brass gauges.

The chassis are steel and have compensation to horn blocks on the front two axles, the coupling rods are hinged and pre-assembled. The kit includes wheels, all parts, materials, and build manual to complete the model.

Not included are motor/gearbox and R/C equipment

Looks very good Mike.
A worthy successor to the (?defunct) GRS kit which had several dimensional and detailing errors.
I already have a pair of 57XX's, otherwise I would have been after one.
What I do want (if I ever find the time) is a 64XX (auto-fitted) to fit between two pairs of auto trailers!
Regards,
John.
My fellow Members, ask not what your Society can do for you, ask what you can do for your Society.

I know n'owt about GWR locos but that does look superb.  And well done for offering jointed coupling rods which will be a major help to many people.

Thank you for your kind comments but sad to hear lack of knowledge of the GWR.

However we can offer you an in-depth course on the genius of GWR engineering and exterior design, acknowledged by many as the premier railway company.

Mike, words fail me.  I do actually own a 2800 in 7mm, built by a late friend, but don't admit to it often.
