Mikkel Kjartan's 4mm Locos (II)

388 Class "Armstrong Goods"
No. 510
Here is Armstrong's version of the sturdy GWR 0-6-0 goods loco. This one
was built by Chris Philips [website]
from a Nu-Cast kit to his usual fine standards. The loco has an opening
smokebox door, and is powered by a Mashima motor which does the job nicely.
The livery depicts the 1906-1914 period.

3232 Class No. 3245
The 3232's are one of my favourite GWR loco classes. This one was built
professionally from the Martin Finney kit. The kit is very good, but unfortunately
the builder made a bit of a rush-job of the whole thing (so I won't recommend
him here). Apart from a repaint, I had to make several modifications to
both loco and tender chassis before ít ran well. The loco has a
Portescap motor and is in the 1906-1914 livery.
