Manufacturer of high quality etched 4mm loco, carriage and wagon kits covering both pre-group and the 'big 4' periods. There are 23 tank and 30 tender locos in the range. In addition to 43 carriage kits, there are also 8 NPCS kits, 8 horseboxes and 5 vans. London Road Models also supply a wide range of etched motor mounts and gears for 4mm locos. The renowned hornblock system is available with 1/8" or 2mm bearings for driving, tender or carrying wheels.

London Road Models are introducing three new North Eastern Railway 4mm etched loco kits. Formerly supplied by Steve Barnfield, these kits have not been available for several years. The first two kits are available immediately and are illustrated here, while the third, the NER S3 4-6-0 (LNER B16), should be available later this year.

NER 0-4-4 BTP (LNER G6).

Some 120 BTP class were built with the aim of providing reliable services on branch passenger trains, and until the advent of the 'O' class (LNER class G5), from 1894 did just that. From 1905 onwards, a total of at least thirty seven BTPs were fitted at one time or another for working with auto-coaches, first with one and subsequently with two, either end of the engine. Apart from those rebuilt, there were no more changes to the numbers of BTPs in service, until withdrawals started in 1920, and all were gone by 1929.

The body is etched in brass and the boiler is supplied ready rolled. The chassis is designed to be compensated and is supplied with horn guides and bearings working on a twin beam system to overcome the problems inherent in an 0-4-4. The fittings are mainly lost wax castings with turned sprung buffers.

The kit is priced at Ł85.00, including p&p.

N.E.R. M(M1) & Q, (L.N.E.R. D17)

Although regarded as separate classes by the North Eastern Railway, the outward differences between them were fairly superficial. Construction of class M began in 1892, and all the class originally had extended smoke boxes to ease conversion to compound working if required. As this was not undertaken, the smoke boxes were shortened, starting with No.1623 in October 1903. However, the locomotives were not long in this condition, as they received extended smoke boxes once again, this time for superheating from 1914.

The class Q locomotives, built from 1896, were very similar, the main differences from the Class M locos being the polished brass capped chimney and the clerestory roof. When withdrawal began in the 1930s, the M and Q classes were in use all over the former N.E.R. system.

The body is etched in brass and the boiler is supplied ready rolled. The chassis can be built to 00, EM or P4 standards. Sprung buffers are included and the fittings are mainly lost wax castings. The NER 3375/3940 gallon tender is included. The kit is priced at Ł105.00, including p&p.

42 page illustrated catalogue £2.00p including UK postage.

Examples of models constructed from this range are featured from time to time in the EMGS Newsletter. See NL 181 (October 2009) for examples.
