N Gauge LNWR Bloomer Class – Large

Description

Designed by James McConnell of Wolverton Works, the ‘Bloomer’ class 2-2-2 singles were an icon of the LNWR’s southern division, one gaining a world speed record of 57.2mph in 1962 during the ‘Trent Affair’.  With most built in the 1850s several versions were built, this being the original ‘large’ type.  An unpowered free-rolling model engine (complete with driving wheels), coupled to the various motorised coaches/trucks also available a fully working ‘Era 1’ N Gauge train can be created.
 
Necessary to Complete:
Graham Farish A3 spoked tender wheels (x2, available as spares)
Graham Farish wagon wheels (x3)
Loco-tender couplings (the method used is at the builder’s discretion)
Weight (the boiler is hollow)
(NB small strips of styrene will hold the driving wheels in place)
 
Optional additional details to scratchbuild (at the builder’s discretion):
Brake gear (supports are provided)
Smokebox door handle (not a traditional ‘dart’)
Handrails
Sanding pipes
