Re: L&B Models "LYN" in 1/48 2' Gauge.


 

Most interesting, thanks.

This particular loco has been gauged to 12.5mm but the brake and hanger
assemblies appear to be for 14mm.

The only Lyn kit I am aware of is one produced by L&B models in 014. This
is the kit that after a long period of non availability became the Slaters
kit. Wheels gears & motor are pretty much the extent of the changes made
by Slaters. It?€?s 1:43.5 not 1:48. Alan Gibson did the wheels for the L&B
version.

It was, and remains, a challenge to build. Having been designed for 14mm
doing to 16.5mm was a real challenge.

L&B models were the work of David Nicholson. He went on to create ZTC DCC.
I?€?m currently regauging three Lionheart 2-6-2?€?s for him.

The Link/Gibson Link/Gibson models only covered the 2-6-2?€?s. Each
version was quite different. I now own the Gibson designs but have
examples of each iteration.
