| LOCOMOTIVE KITS

Each part is made from the most appropriate material and process for the right blend of strength and appearance. The kits include castings in whitemetal, lost wax brass and nickel silver, brass turnings, 12 and 18 thou brass and nickel silver etchings, wire, a pick up set and all fixings.
