NCB Lambton 'Austerity' Cab/Injectors

£17.50

A 3D-printed cab to fit the popular Hunslet ‘Austerity’ or J94 locomotives and convert it to represent the cut down locos used by the NCB on the Lambton system. The ex-Lambton, Hetton and Joicey Collieries railway had some restricted clearances which necessitated these modifications.

The Lambton locos also differed from the standard ‘Austerity’ by having injectors mounted on the running board in front of the cab.

Five Austerities were so treated, Nos. 7, 51, 58, 59, 60

This cab closely represents 7, 52, 58 and 60 in industrial use.

They were all subtly different but 59 was the ‘odd one out’ with a sliding hatch. 60 has been preserved although the cab has been much modified in later life.

This kit also includes two 3D printed injectors with .7mm wire to represent pipework, as well as 0.45mm wire for the cab handrails and relevant mounting nuts/bolts.

There are 2 variants available, one for the older Hornby (ex-Dapol) model, and one for the newer EFE Rail (ex-DJM) model. Both include nuts and bolts to mount them securely to the footplate.

This cab differs from others available in that it represents the NCB rather than the preserved condition, by having the smaller cab opening.

Design by Paul Metcalfe and Adam White.

Price includes UK postage.
