CONNOISSEUR KIT

Connoisseur Models has unveiled its latest locomotive kit: the LNER ‘F7’ 2‑4‑2T. These 12 machines worked throughout the former Great Eastern network for which they were built, although three were transferred to Scotland. The last was withdrawn in 1948. The kit is a mix of etched brass and nickel silver parts. It includes provision for sprung radial trucks, components to make key detail changes, and even fire irons and footplate crew. Price: £210.00. Availability: Connoisseur Models. Tel: 01544 318263. Web: www.jimmcgeown.com
