LNER Class Y7
Kit Composition. The main body and chassis components are etched in
brass with cast white metal fittings. Cab interior is detailed and a cast
backhead is provided. Alternative castings are included to cover some of the
modifications and differences between members of this class of loco that
existed during their working lives. The etched brass boiler is pre-rolled and
wire, screws, bearings etc are included.
This kit has been designed to provide a set of quality components that will
allow the modeller, who has basic kit building skills, to build an 0 gauge
model of the prototype to a standard of detail that is suitable for operating
models on most 0 gauge layouts.

  • Page 2: General Instructions

    GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS Please read this section carefully especially if this is your first etched brass kit. Many modellers fight shy of working in this medium but the basic skills are relatively easy to acquire. Once you’ve learned how to form and solder brass you’ll find all kinds of modelling possibilities will open up for you.

Details etc, but still use extra liquid flux. and an order form can be obtained from HMRS Transfers, Brian Webb (volunteer sales officer), 8 Gilpin Green, Harpenden, Herts, AL5 5NR.

The important thing lines are normally half-etched on the inside of the fold. You’ll be able to fold most with a metal model is to get a good base coat of primer.
  • Page 5 Forming Parts. While the boiler in this kit is pre-formed, other forming is best Fit lubricators, hopefully you have already decided the type you wish achieved as construction progresses as this enables the parts to be adjusted to to fit and have drilled the required location holes as you removed the each other.

I will then paint and fit interior 19 members of this class were built by the NER, with a further five being added by components through the doorways and back the LNER for dockside and light shunting work.

Although I have learnt much and improved a lot over ventilator fitted to the locos in later years and reflects what the roof looked like on the preserved locos in 1988.
