Kit & Scratch Built 7mm O Gauge LNER Blue Class A4 No.4463 'Sparrowhawk'

Overview

  • Condition: Semi scratch built / kit built. Hachette die cast loco body parts from their part work series, resin tender upper body. Simple channel chassis with rigid bearings. A mixture of wheels, Premier coupling and connecting rods, the rest are home made from rails. Simplified valve gear behind valances. 40:1 open gear set with can motor. Trailing axle is simple spring wire and tube.  Spray finished in LNER blue, with etched plates, HMRS numbers and lettering. Spray satin varnish. Detail is a little limited, but the model was built as a layout engine rather than for display.  Navigates 6' radius curves and points well.  We think this model is a stunning example of this class of locomotive, with some very clever construction choices that simplifies the structure while not affecting the visual impact.  Would be a great addition as is, or would be a good candidate for someone who wants to build a scale chassis to fit.

  • Original Box: Footplate foam lined box

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

We do our best to inspect models thoroughly and describe any flaws, missing details or issues with every model. However, with so many different models to look at, some details can be missed.

That is why we also make sure to take plenty of high-resolution images from all angles to allow you to inspect the item from wherever you are and look for things we may have missed. We consider our photographs to form part of the description - so even if we don't mention it in writing, any flaws are there for you to see for yourself.

Please take the time to inspect the images carefully when considering a purchase. You can click the image to zoom to a larger version if necessary, and if you are on a mobile device you can also standard pinch in/out gestures to zoom in further. If you have any questions about anything you see, feel free to get in touch by email or by phone - we're always happy to talk!
