Merge proposal[edit]

It would make a lot of sense to merge these two articles. To me they seem to duplicate each other. The crisp (talk) 07:56, 30 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Support merge from Kitmaster, with Rosebud Kitmaster as the destination. --Redrose64 (talk) 20:08, 31 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I agree, it seems logical to merge the two. Unfortunately I'm unsure how to. 7severn7 (talk) 19:36, 1 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I agree that this should be done. There is one conflict of fact between the two articles - the date of the sale to Airfix (1962 or 1963). The website of the Kitmaster Collectors' Club www.kitmaster.org.uk says 1962, the Wikipedia article on Airfix says 1963. 8474tim (talk) 09:55, 11 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It was 1962; don't believe everything you read on Wikipedia, particularly when it's unreferenced. --Redrose64 (talk) 21:03, 11 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Kit No 22 - BR Standard 2-10-0 9F locomotive Evening Star[edit]

Although marketed as BR Standard 2-10-0 9F locomotive Evening Star the kit was in fact more general as the decal sheet had the nameplates for Evening Star and numbers for Evening Star and for three other locomotives from the class. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A00:23C5:EEAA:DA00:F147:E17F:3F3:2F7A (talk) 11:29, 26 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

There is a picture of the decal sheet on the http://www.kitmaster.org.uk/TRansfers.htm web page — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2a00:23c5:eeaa:da00:f147:e17f:3f3:2f7a (talk) 11:48, 26 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

In real life, one of those other three locomotives, 92203, has survived into preservation and is now named Black Prince. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2a00:23c5:eeaa:da00:f147:e17f:3f3:2f7a (talk) 11:53, 26 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Tri-ang coupling for OO gauge models[edit]

At least some of the kits had a facility at each end of the locomotive such that one could, if one wished, buy two Tri-ang (now Hornby) hook and bar couplings from a model railway shop and fit them on. This allowed the model to be attached to a model railway train. For example, the unpowered kitmaster locomotive heading a train with a powered loco double heading, such that the kitmaster model was pushed and coaches pulled by the powered model railway locomotive. Another example, an unpowered Kit No 6 - Lancashire & Yorkshire 0-4-0 saddle tank "pug" locomotive as if banking a goods train pulled by a powered model locomotive, though in reality just an extra "truck" behind the guard's van. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A00:23C5:EEAA:DA00:F147:E17F:3F3:2F7A (talk) 11:41, 26 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
