Description
This is a 00 scale model of the diesel shunter ‘Courage’, better known as ‘Sweet Pea’. Built by Hunslet in 1935 it is arguably Britain’s smallest standard gauge diesel, today preserved at the Middleton Railway, Leeds.
This scratch aid provides the engine’s main shape and details, only requiring the roof supports to be fabricated. Designed as an unpowered model (for use with a motorised truck) the chassis, however, is separate so it can be interchanged with a scratch-built mechanism if preferred.
Necessary to Complete:
Driving wheels (13mm diameter with flange; c.12mm without) on 2mm axle, eg Romford or Alan Gibson
Screw-fit coupling (best to just glue/pin – mounting point included on the tender): Hornby Spares – Coupling Unit and Screws – A1X Terrier – Pack of 1 http://www.newmodellersshop.co.uk/hornby_spares_couplings.htm
Weight
Optional additional details to scratchbuild (at the builder’s discretion):
Roof supports (wire or brass L-section) – mounting holes provided
Exhaust
Control levers and brake wheel
