CT02  4mm scale McIntosh 4125 gallon tender, Type M6
£47.00. Packed Weight 400g

These tenders were built for the Class 900 4-4-0s and gave the class a most gracious appearance. In the 1930s after the locos were relegated to less important work where a large water capacity was unnecessary, these tenders were scrapped and replaced by 6 wheel tenders, generally of 3570 gallon capacity (see kit CT3) from other scrapped locos

CT03  4mm scale McIntosh 3570 gallon tender, Type M3
£45.00. Packed Weight 400g

Generally similar to the M2 type tenders (see kit CT01) but with noticeably higher tank sides, these tenders were originally built for the 0-8-0s of Class 600 and the 4-6-0s of Classes 179, 908 and 918. When the these locomotives were scrapped by the L.M.S. most of the tenders were used to replace bogie types (such as CT02) behind 4-4-0s. After the subsequent scrapping of the 4-4-0s, some tenders then went to Class 812 and 652 locos.

CT04 New!!   4mm scale Pickersgill 3000 gallon tender, Type P2 (early builds)


Generally similar to the M2 type tenders (see kit CT01) but with coalrails. The front side plates were higher to match the cab of the Class 300 engines for which they were built. This kit is for the earlier tenders with standard axlebox springs.

Scale drawing of CT5

CT05 New!!   4mm scale Pickersgill 3000 gallon tender, Type P2 (later builds)


Identical to kit CT04 except for the axlebox springs which are of the adjustable pattern fitted to later builds of this type of tender. Again built for the Class 300 0-6-0 engines.

Caledonian Railway Coat of Arms

"Wha dare meddle wi' me" - a loose translation of the Scottish motto (nemo me impune lacessit, litterly meaning "no-one provokes me with impunity") which was appropriated along with the Scottish coat of arms (without any sanction from the Lord Lyon, King of Arms) by the Caledonian Railway Co.
