Wisbech & Upwell 04 Drewry Diesel
In 4mm / these are available with the older cab either with or without the Saxa (cone shaped) chimney.
They also have a choice of being designed with fixing points to suit either the Bachmann 04 DC or the Bachmann 03 DCC Ready to Run / RTR chassis. Please select the one you need.
For other scales the choice is simply SAXA chimney or STOVE pipe chimney with no fixing options.
The Saxa chimney in most cases is pre-fitted, the stove pipe option is provided loose so you can also model a 'no' chimney type.
These purchases include the locomotive bodies and their details such as smokebox door, buffers, etc. Product photographs show them mostly in completed states, either built here or by customers to give an idea of their potential.

An overall good casting sensibly split into components that will ease construction. I purchased the 3.5mm version as this will operate on a Portuguese H0 layout so how much trouble may lay ahead getting a suitable drive to fit is yet to be seen. The CP didn't have the side panels so I don't have the luxury of being able to hide any drive.
