Product Description
L&YR Class 28 Mogul Experiment ~2mm British N Gauge, 1:148
This is a 4mm scale model of the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway (L&YR) Class 28 Mogul
Experimental Locomotive.
Historically George Hughes took the design of a Class 28 locomotive and made some alterations.
It is generally thought that 5'6" wheels were used instead of the usual 5'1" wheels and the running
plate was extended to provide room for a Pony Wheel and a few other tweaks were implemented.
At least one drawing of the locomotive exists but as to whether it was actually built is debatable.
Several email exchanges have been made with the NRM about the drawings so the aim is to visit and purchase the drawing/s and get solid details on the mystery locomotive, as a result what we have here currently is a possible representation of what the engine 'could' have looked like, but currently nothing is set it stone. If the conclusion ends up being different then a Version 2 will likely be made.
BODY INSTRUCTIONS: The Smoke-Box Door is located lose and the 2 different types of buffers that the Class 28's ran with are underneith the running plate. This gives you the choice of using either or substituting them with metal ones from other manufacturers without having to hack them off a buffer beam. The Reverser Rod will have to be made from brass rod or similar.
You will need hand rail pillars or split pins and rod for the hand rails. To make the accurate
positioning and fitting easier, holes have been slightly indented on the body; they just need
drilling out. Couplings are left for the user to decide based upon preference.
This body shell likely can be fixed to several Ready To Run (RTR) chassis with a little tweaking, I haven't yet purchased RTR chassis to experiment with so this has been re-scaled and tweaked down from the 4mm version upon request.
