4NGC4 M.N.R. 6wheeled CLEMINSON FIRST

Etched Brass Kit. Two firsts were built in 1879 and on takeover by the Isle of Man Railway were renumbered N40 and N41. No.1 was largely unmodified, although reduced to third class in 1920. It is now privately preserved. No.2 was rebuilt internally in 1902 and reclassified as a third saloon. In 1964 the body was brought to Douglas and mounted on a concrete base as the engine shed mess room. Originally painted a dull green (as a mess hut), it was repainted in the later MNR livery in 1992 and the following year regained its number N41. It has now been removed for private preservation. Also available in 7mm scale as 7NGC4 3 axles 9mm dia wheels & couplings needed to complete. Kit built by Robin Winter.
