*Project Update Update* GWR Steam Railmotor.
"Since our first update on Monday, we have now received images of the first assembled Engineering prototype models. They will be with us for review and testing very soon.
The prototype was laser scanned at Didcot to ensure an accurate rendition of the body shapes and details. The model will have working directional oil lamps and working interior light and will be DCC ready with a 21-pin decoder socket. Five versions will be released with a price of £159.99 at release, although you can save £10 per model if placing a pre-order".
"No funds are required until we are ready to send the order and of course the orders can be cancelled without penalty at any time before delivery. (Please note if you order through our website the funds will initially be taken immediately but we will refund these in full within one working day)".
"Graham Drew, Great Western Society Railmotor Project Manager, said "The Society is pleased to offer every assistance to Kernow Model Rail Centre to enable an historically accurate model to be produced tothe highest standard, and to be involved in bringing this unique vehicle to modellers of the GWR.”
"Chris Trerise, Kernow Model Rail Centre Managing Director, said "When I first rode on the Railmotor from Liskeard to Looe and return in 2012 I was hooked and knew I had to get this into my portfolio of models. I am really pleased to be working with the Great Western Society as this project progresses"
"Pictures of the assembled EPs and first impressions of some of the plastic parts can be seen.
We will provide a further update once the full Engineering Prototype is received"................KMRC
