K347 - LNER CLASS A8 4-6-2t Diagram 63/63A Boiler

All forty five of the H1 locomotives were rebuilt under Gresley’s guidance to become A8s between 1931 and 1936. This improved their adhesion and created a much more useful engine. This kit of the A8 has the same Diagram 63 / 63A boiler that were carried by the earlier H1 design.

Kit features a 50/50 etched and whitemetal construction of the more traditional DJH design.
With One-piece boiler/firebox. Detailed lost-wax brass castings and etched chassis frames and
Nickel silver valve gear. Requires Slaters wheels, pick-ups, couplings and Motor/gearbox to
complete.
