Inspired by the locomotives, built by De Winton & Company from the 1860s through to the turn of the century.
Affectionately known as “Coffee Pots”, these engines had vertical boilers and vertical cylinders mounted directly to the boiler. A fascinating upshot of this meant that the locomotives needed to be “unsprung” to allow free and full movement of the upright motion.
One of the targets we set ourselves when designing the kit was to allow as much free space as possible for electronics, etc. With a completely clear boiler and almost a clear space in the water tank, we feel we’ve fulfilled our own brief?
No two of the De Winton’s appear to have been built the same; ours draws much inspiration from CHALONER, which is currently resident at the Leighton Buzzard Light Railway. Although many other De Winton’s survived and are dotted around the UK.
With 3D printed parts from filament & resin, and laser-cut acrylic. The kit contains motor, gears, wheels, metal stock and nuts, screws, etc. Everything needed to build the model in the photograph(s), excluding paint and adhesives.
Supplied with our “idiot-proof” method of crank quartering, a 3/6v motor and Peter Binnie wheels.
Building instructions are included with the kit, which is reasonably easy to construct and requires glue, paint, basic tools, and batteries to complete.
