| "In view
of my own experience of building locomotives in 2.5", 5"
and 7.25" gauges the 14xx seemed a natural choice for
Silver Crest Models first engine in the larger gauge -
not least due to the resounding success of this model in
5" gauge. This is an attractive and manageable engine in 7.25" gauge which will provide a quality driving experience for the enthusiast. As an award winning model engineer I am delighted to have contributed to the development of this fine model" Mike Pavie |

 14xx in GWR Livery The Quintessential Branch Line Locomotive.... Designed by C.B. Collett the Class was introduced in 1932. Initially designated 48xx Class they were re-classified 14xx Class in 1946. Away from the sound and fury of the main line these pretty little locomotives plied their trade on a majority of Western Region branch lines, winding their way through the rolling countryside.. Their quite progress respectful of their bucolic setting - as quintessentially British as cricket on the village green. All 75 of the Class were fitted for push/pull working so the train could be driven from either end when coupled with an autocoach and this avoided running around at terminal stations. On busier branch lines the locomotive was sandwiched between two, or more, autocoaches. The Model......

We supply fully compliant certificates and paperwork including an EU Declaration of Conformity.
