HR7 – L 4: The Jones Big Goods 4-6-0. Introduced in 1894 and built by Sharp Stewart in Glasgow, the locomotives were numbered consecutively from 103 to 117. When new they were allocated between Perth and Inverness sheds to haul the principal goods trains on the company’s metals. The first withdrawl was in 1929, with the last one going from service in 1940. Fortunately one is still with us, for in 1934 the LMS preserved the class leader No 103. After returning to service in the 1950’s with Scottish Region of British Railways and appearing in film, No 103 was retired, in the 60’s) to Glasgow Transport Museum where it may still be seen.The kit will require a chassis, wheels, motor, gears and all fittings of the builders choosing to complete. Suitable fittings are available in the Shedmaster /Laurie Griffin range. Click here for details
