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.     Collector's Series These kits are faithful depictions of classic narrow gauge designs, covering prototypes from 1'11½" gauge (60cm) to 2'6".   Darjeeling Himalayan Railway D Class Beyer-Garratt The DHR D Class was the second Beyer-Garratt design, and the first to adopt the final arrangement with outboard cylinders.
