It's only a Beattie Well Tank!

I've seen both restored engines together and will definatly put in an order for one. Cherry on the cake after recieving three Doctor Who DVD's today (albiet one slightly crumpled.)

Below is an extract from the KMRC newsletter:
New announcement - Beattie Well Tank

We have commissioned Dapol to produce on our behalf the beautiful LSWR (SR) Beattie Well Tank 2-4-0WT in OO gauge. Associated for many years with the Wenfordbridge branch while based at Wadebridge these models are sure to prove popular if the number of requests we have received over the years are any indication.

This model will be made using the very accurate ‘Laser’ scanning technology and will feature all that’s best in current thinking regarding electronics, gearing etc.

The specification is as follows;

5pole motor with flywheel
8 pin DCC socket (with possible proviso for sound chip and speaker)
NEM coupling pockets
Opening smokebox door and modelled interior
Cab interior modelled accurately
Darkened RP25.110 see through wheel sets with 14.4mm back to back measurements.
Accessory pack for you to ‘individualise’ the look of your own model.
Phosphor Bronze self lubricating axle bushes.

This locomotive should be available at our special event on 4th / 5th September 2010 .

At present three models are proposed: -

K2051 number 30587 in BR Black with early emblem

K2052 number 30586 in BR Black with early emblem

K2053 number 30585 in BR Black with late crest

The price will be £89.99 and these are available to order through our website by clicking on the relevant model.
