Locomotiva a Vapor com Tanque Lateral (Material Circulante)

The pannier tank engine kit went together nicely—the MDF pieces fit snugly without needing too much sanding. I’ve always wanted a proper British shunter for my layout, and this unpainted version gives me exactly the creative freedom I wanted. It’ll look great once I add some weathering and grime.

The instructions were surprisingly clear for a kit this detailed, and I love how the pannier tank design captures the look of the British originals. It took a patient evening to assemble, but the finished piece adds real character to my layout.

Even though I had to assemble and paint it myself, the instructions were so clear that I finished it in one afternoon. The detailing around the cab and boiler really pops once you add a coat of paint.
