London & South Western Railway 0-4-0T B4 Honfleur

LSWR 0-4-0T Honfleur - model in 7mm scale (O gauge)

A 7mm scale (O Gauge) model of Honfleur, a London & South Western Railway 0-4-0T B4 class locomotive introduced by Adams in 1892 for shunting at railway docks.  The model is built from a brass and whitemetal kit formerly marketed by Vulcan Models; the model is compensated and the original open frame motor was replaced by a Sagami motor and the gears were replaced by a set from Ultrascale.

The whitemetal vacuum pipe castings are very delicate and are often bent; I didn't notice this when taking the pictures.  One day they will crack off and I shall replace then with something more robust.
