Released at Peterborough (April 2023), this locomotive kit is our interpretation of the 0-4-4-0T Péchot-Bourdon Double Fairlie locomotive.

Codenamed GUARDSMAN, the model comes complete with two power bogie kits (in either 32mm or 45mm gauge), is built from 3D printed filament & resin parts, laser-cut acrylic and utilises our adaption of the Binnie Engineering 29mm wheel, creating an effective driving wheelset.

Supplied with two 3-6volt motors, nylon worm gears, Binnie Engineering 29mm wheels on 1/8" stainless steel axles, and all necessary metal stock, nuts, screws & washers required to build the model in the photos.

Also included in the kit is a micro slide switch (with a corresponding laser cut hole in the tank-top) and a selection of resin-printed detail parts.

We do recommend access to a small "bench vice" to build this kit.

Building instructions are included with the kit.

GUARDSMAN comes complete with power bogies of your gauge choice - but are also available separately - HERE

Although not for beginners, the kit is reasonably easy to construct and requires basic tools, glue, paint and batteries to complete.

There is adequate room in the boiler & tanks for four “AA” batteries or a 3.7V Lipo battery and a locoremote or other RC units.

If choosing locoremote, ask Chris Rennie for "The two motor output Mini B".
Batteries, Loco Remote or any electrics (except micro switch) are not included in the kit
