Description
GWR 455 Armstrong Medium Metro 2-4-0T, Society etched kit from Rod Neep artwork, originally no chassis
It now comes not only with a chassis but with an extra etch by Andrew Thomas which enables the later versions of the locomotive, with enclosed cab, to be modelled.
A large class of locos built between 1869 and 1899 with numerous variations in boiler, tanks, cab and bunker. Thirty one were rebuilt with much larger tanks in 1898/9. The kit depicts a loco with medium tanks, half-cab and either Belpaire or round top boiler.
