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.

2020年4月15日 · According to the former AJReevesLtd, gleaned 20 years ago from their records of number of castings sets sold, the TICH is the single most-built live steam locomotive in history. The #2 engine, at over 10,000 sets sold, is probably the 1/4" scale 4-8-4 offered beginning in the 1930s by the Little Engine Co. of Lomita California.

2022年2月22日 · I purchased a book called Simple Model Locomotive Building Introducing LBSC's TICH by Martin Evans. This book is just a compilation of the various Model Engineer articles that were published back in 1949!

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!

2 天之前 · Tichy Train Group brings together the best of two worlds, combining the fun and reward of fine model railroad building with the rapidly growing interest in prototype railroading, freight cars and structures, in particular.

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!

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.

2017年10月7日 · The loco is finally finished and everything fixed, i don't dare to fire it on coal so it's just an air test. Everything seems to work fine though. It is powe...

The original Tich designed in 3.5” gauge by LBSC was designed as a beginner locomotive, but machining the tiny parts was not enjoyed by many. Doubling up the design made things a bit more amenable and produced a loco capable of more useful power for the owner.
