A MODEL IN MUSEUM QUALITY UNEXPECTED PRICE-PERFORMANCE RATIO.

The “Evening Star” was a real eye-catcher. The locomotive will impress as a 5 inch model with its stately appearance. It is visually successful and very powerful.

Thanks to its “1E” axis sequence, it is optimized for maximum friction and traction. And with an output of approx. 1.2 HP, it is sufficiently strong.

For this price, you get a great model with a professionally manufactured copper kettle, lots of wax-fine castings, which is completely painted, lined and ready to use. As an option, you can also order the locomotive in black without lines, but with your desired numbering.

Original construction

Our models are always our own constructions. We aim to produce high quality models at an affordable price. We consider ourselves lucky to have a professional and award-winning model builder as a consultant in Mike Pavie. Our new development process aims at the production of high quality and durable models, produced in individual lots of 50 pieces.

Development process

Realistic replica of the original combined with good driving characteristics are the main goals of the design of the model. Good design and manufacture of all individual parts complete the model. The construction process begins with the procurement of reliable original documents. Workshop drawings and original photos form the basis.
