LSWR T9 kits

Superkits

The kits are designed to be as simple to assemble as possible - I expect to assemble far more ready-to-run than I produce as kits, hence they need to go together with the minimum of fuss and time.
They are designed to go together with simple hand tools and soft solder - most parts are bolted together, even where they are later soldered, the bolts hold the parts in place for soldering. This is unfortunately not possible with the smaller parts, but even so, assembly is simple.

No machining is required on your part - just light filing of assembled parts, and possibly clearing out some holes with drills or reamers.

You will get:-
  All silver soldering already done –
     boiler assembled and tested
     smokebox silver soldered
     gas version:-
          gas tank assembled (silver soldered) and tested
          gas burner silver soldered
     meths version:-
          meths burner silver soldered
     Fully assembled and tested cylinder assembly – already fitted to frames
     Fully assembled and painted loco frames (unlined) with cylinders and stretchers installed.
     Reversible Southern valvegear assembled into the frames – tested on both air and steam – the latter using the supplied boiler
  4 sheets of highly detailed etches – more for large locos, possibly less for some tank locos
  16 wheels finished to your requirements - fine or coarse scale standard – again the number varies to suit the loco
  Over 30 lost-wax brass castings - no white-metal is used in this kit
  A large assortment of machined parts
  Electronic water level detector
  All nuts, bolts and springs required to assemble the loco
  No tapping or threading is required - it is already done.
  Detailed instruction and photos
The only things missing from the kit are the paint, solder and tools

This list is probably incomplete

Basic kit

 All the parts of the Superkit, except:-
     Frames – not painted, or assembled
     Cylinders – loosely assembled, not tested
     Valvegear – loose
     Boiler – tested on air only

 for those requiring more of a challenge, with more time available.

Tools etc. required

Tools & materials required for building the loco (not supplied):-
Soldering iron(s)                         Minimum 50W preferred, resistance soldering kit if you have got one
Soft solder + flux                        Fireproof fingers would be good!
Plain white toothpaste (+ brush) to prevent solder sticking where you do not want it.
Carr's do a special flux for stainless steel which is recommended for the tender frames
Screwdrivers
Spanners
Files - Needle or riffler - for cleaning finished joints & removing excess solder
Masking tape or clamps to hold parts together
Cutters for trimming rod to length
Sealer for the tank if you are not soldering it together
Paint, brushes, spray etc for finishing  
Transfers for the lining on the DEE are available from Dick Moger if you do not fancy doing your own lining
You will also require fuel (butane or meths depending on your loco version) and lime free water to run it on.

This list is also probably incomplete, and the exact tools you will use will depend upon both what you have got and what you feel comfortable with
