K1 Class Tasmanian Beyer-Garratt 0-4-0+0-4-0 Locomotive
These K1 class Beyer-Garratts were the first to be built and supplied in 1909 to the N.E. Dundas Tramway, 17mile 2ft gauge line in Tasmania. One of them was repatriated in 1947 by Beyer Peacock and eventually purchased by the Festiniog Railway in 1965. After a long overhaul the loco was first steamed in 2004, and will eventually be used on the Welsh Highland Railway. This new GRS kit is designed for ease of build, consisting of cast resin boiler unit, cab, tanks and cylinders, with brass etch for the remainder of the bodywork. Both chassis are power driven and screw together using brass and steel. The valve gear is steel and nickel silver with nut and bolt assembly. Full instructions included.
