JUDITH EDGE KITS

ETCHED BRASS KITS in 4mm and 7mm Scales.

Judith Edge Kits

Latest News June 2011

We have now sold out of the Bullant drives for the 6wh Steelman and will not be supplying any more. The kit will remain in production but buyers will have to order the Bullant direct from Australia. We are working jointly with Chris Gibbon of High Level Models for a new solution to powering this type of loco.
The next 7mm kit, due out next month will be the 0-4-0DH Sentinel (Rod drive version only at present). 4mm scale test etches in progress include RH 48DS, LSW Bo-Bo electric DS74, HE 16" 0-6-0ST and Tyne & Wear Metro Brush 0-6-0DE.
Our latest kit, for the later high cab version of the Hunslet 05 (D2574-2618) is now available at £55.
Our pantograph range has now expanded to include the EE PNL4 (From the Harton electrics) and the SR ones for the Bulleid Co-Cos and the class 71.
We now have an add-on pack to convert a class 17 Clayton to one of the Rolls Royce engined pair, D8586/7. This includes additional etched grilles and engine covers with a CAD drawing to show where everything goes, price is £5.50 including postage.


Judith Edge kits are designed by Michael Edge, a professional model builder for the last 25 years. All the etched parts are drawn with a CAD system to ensure accuracy. Resin mouldings and some turned parts are provided where appropriate. Wheels, motor, gears and buffers are not supplied (Except where stated).

The 4mm kits are etched in .015" Material (7mm in .022", HO and 3mm .012"), which is thicker than most etched kits. This helps considerably to keep the model straight and true while half etches keep the visible sheet edges to near scale thickness. Half etched overlays are kept to a minimum on most of the kits and unsupported flat half etched parts are avoided.

A feature of the kit design is that the body is built in two sections, usually the engine casing/cab and the footplate/frame, joined with 14BA screws. This helps in construction and also makes painting easier. In all but the first three kits the cab floor is fitted to the frames, which leaves the cab interior accessible for painting and glazing after assembly while allowing the roof to be soldered on.
The instructions are designed as far as possible to explain how to build each model, rather than simply showing which part fits where. The etched parts are identified by number and a descriptive list. All the parts are shown on a general arrangement drawing which is derived from the CAD drawing used to create the kit and printed exactly to scale.

7mm Scale Kits:
We intend to produce most of our range in 7mm scale but this is a slow process involving some re-design. 7mm kits are produced in .022" Material, with resin mouldings as in the 4mm kits. Wheels, motor, gears and buffers are not provided; the instructions detail recommended components and drive systems.
Postage on all 7mm kits is £3.50

Hunslet 05 D2574-2618

The last two batches of Hunslet 05 0-6-0DMs for Eastern/North Eastern/Scottish regions were quite different from the earlier ones with larger wheels and a much higher cab. The kit covers all varieties of these.It is etched in nickel silver since these locos always had bright metal window frames.

LMS/BR 12003-22 0-6-0DE

Our original LMS Jackshaft kit is restricted to building one of the second batch of these locos, BR 12023-32 and we have frequently been asked if it can be altered to produce the first batch, 12003-22. Although the frame design is the same significant alterations were made to the cab, engine casing and steps for the second batch and a new kit has been necessary. As with the revised version of 12023, the frames and coupling rods are etched in nickel silver, the body in brass and this kit also incorporates the option of open radiator shutters.

Hunslet 325hp 50T 0-6-0DH

These locos formed the basis for a range of standard industrial shunters produced by Hunslet from 1964 onwards. Designed around the Rolls Royce C8SFL engine with a Twin Disc torque converter and Hunslet final drive, they were adopted as the standard loco for the NCB Northumberland and Durham area. The basic design was later adapted for 0-4-0 and 0-8-0 wheel arrangements with weights from 25 to 80 tons and 180 to 800hp. This kit provides some variations of the original 50T or 55T locos with or without air brakes.

North British/Paxman 0-4-0DH - later version

This is the later version of D2700-2, this type was mostly built for BR and all were scrapped 1967/8. Some of these were also built for MoD use. We have noticed an incorrect window size in the cab back of early versions (Prior to December 2003) of this kit. A correction has been made in the current kits but if anyone who has bought one of the earlier ones would like the replacement parts we can supply them free of charge. Please contact us with your details and we apologise for any problems this has caused.

Hunslet 403hp 0-6-0DH

These locomotives were built between 1971 and 1978 for hauling ingot cars at British Steel's Templeborough works. The specification was for a loco no larger than the existing Fowler 0-4-0 diesel electrics but with twice the tractive effort and still able to go round 90' reverse curves. The end result was a loco with 6" Thick frames and 8" Thick buffer beams - even the footplate is 3" Thick. This massive frame, weighing 27 tons on its own, presents some problems in a model - most of our materials are far too thin for once. Only seven were built, all with the special drawgear and centre buffers for the ingot cars, but more recently three went to Rover at Longbridge for more general shunting duties, these are now operated by Harry Needle.

LMS/BR Jackshaft drive 0-6-0DE

This kit will build LMS 71OO-9 or BR 12023-32 and represents the final batch of ten single motor 350hp 0-6-0 diesel electric shunters built by the LMS at Derby in 1942. LMS 71OO9 were built to the same design but went to the War Department for service overseas, in the Middle East, Egypt and eventually Italy. The locos were originally painted black and all passed to British Railways in 1948. A few were painted BR green with yellow/black stripes in the 1960s and the last were withdrawn in 1967. Variations within this batch are covered in the kit but the earlier locos (7080 - 99/12003 - 12022) differ in detail and main dimensions and are now the subject of a separate kit.

Ruston and Hornsby 165DS 0-4-0DM

The Ruston 165DS was introduced as a standard design in 1946 and 124 were built in several varieties. The 0-4-0 standard gauge version had 3'3" Wheels, a Ruston 165hp engine and weighed 29 tons. This kit is intended to build one of the two locos bought by British Railways in 1956 but it can easily be adapted to build the very similar industrial version. The two BR locos were numbered 11507/8, later D2957/8.
