Vendors notes: Running gear is all P4 standard for the day (1980’s!) Hornblocks & springs, jointed con-rods, etc. ‘Triang’ type motor. Mikes
Wheels & Axles, etc.
Hand-painted using Precision Paints. Lining is all hand-made using bow-pen lining on home-prepared ‘slick paper’ – very
simple: Gummed brown paper, sprayed with clear satin varnish. Lining & other detail applied, then varnished. When dry, cut
to shape & soak off like an ‘old fashioned decal’. VERY thin, and delicate operation. Then varnish completed work.
COTSWOLD Kits are all very HEAVY! This loco never had trouble staying on the track!
