IRON
(b) Glue - Superglue and Plastibond are two types of glues suitable for use with this kit. Some modellers prefer to
superglue major joints first then "fillet" the joint with Plastibond. Small detail parts are best glued with Superglue. Glue
is not recommended for those parts needing good electrical contact, such as the tender bogies.
Whichever method you choose, "dry fit" parts first to ensure a good fit.
Electrical pickup.
The electrical system used on these kits is called "half live". Looking from the top facing forward the locomotive
chassis collects current from the live wheels on the right-hand side, shown as LS (live side) on the drawing. The tender
is insulated from the locomotive and current is collected from the wheels on the left-hand side of the tender.
Cleaning up/Painting
On completion, any areas which were soldered should be washed using a soft brush and methylated spirits to remove all
traces of flux; if this not done the paint will not adhere properly to these areas. Alternatively an excellent pressure pack
flux remover is available from Dick Smith stores. Then wash the complete model thoroughly in warm soapy water.
Rinse with clean water and allow to dry thoroughly before applying a suitable self-etch primer.
Spare Parts
Spare parts are available on a replacement basis. Should any part be missing or damaged contact Footplate Models for
replacement. Should you have any problems with the Mashima motor please do not attempt to repair it yourself - return
the motor to us. Mashima will not replace motors which have been tampered with. Also, please take particular care
when fitting the worm gear to the motor shaft. Do not use force, and do not allow glue or Loctite to come into contact
with the motor bearings.
Should you have any queries or problems with construction please drop us a note and we will do our best to advise.
Likewise we would be pleased to hear any suggestions you may have for improving the kits or instructions.
General
The following drill sizes are required: 0.3mm, 0.4mm, 0.5mm, 0.7mm, 0.8mm, 0.9mm, 1.0mm, 1.1mm, 1.2mm, 1.3mm,
1.4mm, 1.5mm, 1.6mm, 1.8mm, 1.9mm, 2.Omm, 2.1mm, 2.6mm, 3.Omm, 3.7mm.
During construction refer to the drawings at all times. A number of parts are quite similar, so double check if in doubt.
Note that attached to the instructions is a photocopy of the lost wax brass castings sprues with each part numbered for
easy identification. In the general instructions, part numbers are shown in brackets. On some drawings, for example
Drawing 6, the number 8 shown in the circle (bottom centre of page) indicates that the part or assembly links to another
shown on Drawing 8.
The instructions sometimes refer to the right-hand (R/H) and left-hand (L/H) side. This is taken as viewing the model
from above and looking forward.
To minimise the risk of losing parts, do not remove them from the etched fret or the plastic packing until you are ready
to use them. We recommend that you start construction with the tender.
Safety First.
These models are not toys and are not suitable for young children. White metal castings contain lead and modellers are
advised to wash their hands after working with unpainted white metal castings. When using superglue, solder or when
spray painting ensure your work area is well ventilated
Tender Drawings T 1 (Parts 1 – 23 and n T2 (Parts 124 - 46) These plans should be used in conjunction.
The tender is mainly comprised of etched brass, much of which requires folding to shape. It is important to remove and
clean up all holding tabs on the etched parts before they are folded to shape. On small pieces, use a pair of flat nosed
pliers (non serrated jaws) to hold the part while filing the tabs flush.
