 
  | Steam RailbusWe
have re-issued our OO9 Steam Railbus kit - one of the first kits we
ever did after launching Backwoods Miniatures in 1990. Instead of
a kit-built mechanism, this new kit comes complete with a KATO 4-wheel
N-scale mechanism for excellent performance. The re-issued kit contains
all the etchings and castings from the original version but has been
upgraded with the following: Pre-formed etched brass bodysides with the curved tumblehome in the lower sides already formed. Beautifully moulded, one-piece resin roof casting.
Designed
for simple adhesive assembly. Model will negotiate 9" radius curves.
Optional boiler/saddletank castings and many optional detail parts
to build different versions. We will launch the first 20 of the re-issued Steam Railbus at EXPO NARROW GAUGE at Swanley on Oct 27th, 2007. Price: GBP80 plus GBP1.50 p+p in the UK. |
