Metropolitan Railway Electric Locomotive
These locos were introduced in 1920's to run overground from Baker St to Amersham pulling standard coaches. They were known as Growlers due to the noise made by the traction motors. I can remember seeing one at Baker St in the 1960's.
The model is mostly 3D printed with full interior cab detail; the bogies have a steel chassis to carry the motor/gearboxes with printed detail plate sides, both bogies are powered.
The model was created in collaboration with Paul Smith from FK3d.co.uk who made the laser resin prints, this process produces perfectly smooth surfaces and renders remarkable detail.
We are considering making the loco available as a kit if there is any interest.
