Guest Jack Benson Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 Hi, The welcome return of the exLSWR L12 from LSWR Models (aka Terry Page aka The Penguin) has prompted an entry on the blog here, it comes with lots of prototype and model images plus Terry's contact details of how to order. No connection with Terry except as an early customer for this useful model and there will be a step-by-step account of its build on the blog.

StaySafe Hi Tim, Just a thought, have you checked with Terry before posting this here and your blog? As far as I am aware he has only produced these kits in very limited numbers, 35 or so, and I know he had a pre-order list. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jack Benson Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 Thank you Graham, sorry to have pre-empted any announcement elsewhere on RMweb. Terry did provide me with both the model images and his details. StaySafe Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Graham_Muz Posted July 28, 2022 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 28, 2022 Tim, If Terry is happy then that's good. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farang Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 My understanding is that only 23 kits are being produced and the announcement was made originally only to members of the South Western Circle. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Graham, My simple philosophy is that knowledge not shared is lost hence I follow your excellent blog as it is a prime source of information.

RMweb Premium Blandford1969 Posted July 30, 2022 RMweb Premium Share Posted July 30, 2022 If not then PDK are currently building the test build of their etched brass version which will also be available soon. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farang Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 I understand that there are 2 or 3 kits still available from the 23 produced. When everything is sold I believe all the patterns/tooling/moulds are going to be destroyed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter Clark Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 I have just read about this in the December Railway Modeller which came out today, 10th November! Presumably by now all the planned kits have been sold I'm very disappointed if that is so Might more be produced or maybe OO Works might consider the L12 as they have already produced a D15 and K10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farang Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 I notice this model is mentioned in the December Railway Modeller and there are still a handful of kits available. There was an article on its construction in the July 1984 RM which can be viewed on the RM website. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dorsetmike Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 (edited) Any chance of a shrink job to N gauge? Could do with one to keep my T9, K10, 700, 0395, M7s and A12 company. Edited November 13, 2022 by Dorsetmike Addition Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farang Posted December 9, 2022 Share Posted December 9, 2022 I understand that from the run of 23 kits just a couple remain and when sold all the moulds/patterns/tools etc are going to be destroyed. Some etched sheets, loco chassis kits and castings are still available. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farang Posted February 27, 2023 Share Posted February 27, 2023 All 24 kits have now been sold along with the spare etches and castings. I believe it is quite likely that the patterns, etch tooling, moulds etc will be destroyed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
