Mick Bayliss Locos now sold
LBSC 337
London Brighton & South Coast Railway K class 2-6-0 no. 337. An elderly model of a rare to see prototype which has now been restored into a rarely modelled livery. Originally well built from the Ace etched brass kit by J. Dinnage, this was acquired from auction and has been stripped down, the loco rebuilt with Slaters wheels and an ABC motor and gear unit. Now repainted in the very attractive Marsh umber livery by John Cockcroft. Designed in 1913 by Mr. Billinton, these attractive locos were painted in the LBSC plain black goods livery, until in 1923, probably to use up old paint stocks, number 337 and two others of the class were outshopped in this passenger umber, a livery singularly suited to the class.
