GNR/LNER & LBSCR/SR Atlantic 4-4-2s

We are considering taking over the production of a series of GNR/LNER and LBSCR/SR ‘Atlantic’ 4-4-2s. These popular and charismatic locomotives are the subject of a build originally commissioned by Kemilway, which is in danger of stalling due to a number of unforeseen factors. We think it would be a great pity if these models were not completed as we believe there are many North Eastern and Southern modellers who would like to have one.

Our final decision on whether to take this forward will rest on a number of factors. First we need to gauge the likely uptake and we need to know which variant(s) of the model and which liveries our customers would prefer, so to read more about the options CLICK HERE. You will then be invited to complete an online form to register your interest, with absolutely no obligation at this stage.

We also need to make a detailed assessment of the changes and technical refinements needed to bring the locomotives up to true Masterpiece Models standards. Many fine details will be added and our latest hornblocks and split-axle pickups will be used.

Finally, we need to make a deeper survey of the progress so far on the project so that we can timetable realistic completion of the build which will be carried out by one of our expert builders in South Korea. We anticipate that the models will be finished in three batches, the first batch being delivered in late summer 2020.

If you are one of the customers who previously ordered an 'Atlantic' from Peter Dawson at Kemilway – and perhaps made a payment – we would be grateful if you could contact us as soon as possible by e-mailing This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
