SR Q1 0-6-0

Bulleid’s Q1 was known to the enginemen as a Charlie. It was designed to use as little steel as possible due to wartime restrictions. Hence the minimal appearance. It turned out to be a very powerful and useful loco. Hauling both goods and passenger trains. They were in service from 1942 to 1966.

There appear to be no works drawings available for this loco. The drawings that have appeared in the model press are very variable and none seem to quite match the loco. So I went to the NRM and measured it up for myself.

Please note these etches are only available from Just The Ticket Engineering Supplies (NOT Orion Models) - see here http://www.justtheticket.tv/locos.htm
