00 Scale 1830s Patentee Loco Scratch Aid

Description

This is a 00 scale model of the 1830s Robert Stephenson ‘Patentee’ class locomotive. A 2-2-2 enlargement on his ‘Planet’ class (also available), these engines were used across Europe, many being the first locomotive used in several countries. Consequently this model, while in its British form, can also be used as a basis for building:

Adler – Germany’s first locomotive

Bayard – Italy’s first locomotive

De Arend – the Netherland’s first locomotive (although technically built to a different gauge)

Necessary to Complete:

• Driving wheels (18.5mm diameter including flanges; c.17.8 without)

• Leading wheels (15mm diameter with flange; c.12.5mm without) for example Hornby wagon wheels R8098 http://www.hattons.co.uk/7287/Hornby_R8098_Metal_spoked_wheels_on_axles_10_axles_/StockDetail.aspx

• Tenshodo aka Hanazono motor bogie, 24.5mm wheelbase, 10.5 diameter spoked wheels: http://motorbogies.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1_22&products_id=240&zenid=altif4dnkrvi8rob03nulftj47

• 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

• Loco-tender couplings

Optional additional details to scratchbuild (at the builder’s discretion):
