Millimodel SECS2 South Eastern & Chatham Railways goods train
Millimodel SECS2 South Eastern and Chatham Railways goods train. 1/200 scale.
This is a 2023 designed card kit to cut out and assemble which builds to a complete goods train measuring approximately 12” long with included track base. Comprising Wainwright 0-6-0 C class locomotive, three different open wagons, two different vans, a 6-wheeled brake van and track base. This model represents a short goods train of typical vehicles circa 1910.
One of this class of locomotives is preserved on the Bluebell Railway. Some similar C set birdcage coaches are preserved on the Kent and East Sussex Railway, but not the relevant centre coach.
The model follows the style of the 1940s and 1950s Micromodels railway kits, which comprised six postcards contained in a paper wrapper.
The paper wrapper (page 1) has the instructions which you only need to print out if you wish to present the kit in the unbuilt form.
These model kits are intended for experienced modellers and are detailed and small in size. Good eyesight or magnification is required and steady hands!
Millimodels are intended to fill some of the gaps in the Micromodels railways range, with railways that were not represented by them and also some of the smaller subjects. In addition, it has been decided to make some sets, at least, as whole trains rather than sets of locomotives.
I sell the physical card kits via eBay if you do not wish to print them out yourself.
