Tich was LBSC’s effort to design a beginners locomotive in 3.5” gauge that could be driven on a track. There has been controversy ever since about what the best way to achieve that, but certainly Tich has had plenty of builders, and in larger gauges, too. This was a nice example in 3.5” gauge shown at the 2018 Midlands exhibition by Dave Lee.

Tich is an 0-4-0 Tank locomotive designed by LBSC to resemble a Contractors engine based on an original drawing by Leslie Clarke. It is available in both large and small round-top boiler variants as well as the version that LBSC built for himself, a 'large' Belpaire boiler version.

A 3 1/2 inch gauge small-boiler Tich, the original incarnation of LBSC's popular beginner's locomotive. Whilst engines deemed suitable for a beginner to learn to drive with have got bigger over the years, there's still nothing nicer looking to put on your bookshelf than one of these!

A very well engineered LBSC small boilered Tich. Loads of lovely extra detailing bits added to this attractive little model, which unusually is constructed very closely to the original and pretty LBSC design before it sprouted bigger boilers, chunky cabs and other less than delicate features!

2013年10月1日 · It's an old model based upon plans in Model Engineer by LBSC for a basic toy steam crane. When I bought it it had no jib, but that was easily remedied with a couple of bits of steel and 20 minutes with the milling machine, a hacksaw and a file.
