Work is
nearing completion on our limited edition kit for the ultimate LMS locomotive, the Coronation 4-6-2.
The final production etches are now ready as is the resin cast smokebox/boiler
firebox. We are now working on the new, specific patterns for the
lostwax and whitemetal castings which are needed in addition to the
standard LMS items we already have. The first pictures showing the building of the test etch give a good indication of how the finished kit will go together. Jim Smith-Wright has been building the final pre-production etches and has described progress on his blog - see his photographs of the chassis here. The specification is similar to our previous LMS kits with resin boiler/firebox. We now hope to release the kit in the first half of 2020. |
