7mm MOK BR Standard 4MT Tank

[Brian Daniels]

That's really nice. I did a DJB one with Fox lining which turned out ok I think. I would have done the MOK kit but this pre dates it by quite a few years.

Thanks Brian.Yours is very impressive as well.

I also built the DJB kit many moons ago. It was not as complex to build as the MOK but it had some nice design touches as I recall. Nickel silver etching as well and and good quality castings. It belongs to my brother now but I'll borrow it and take some side by side images to compare.


Cheers,
Peter

I am currently building the MOK 80000 tank at the moment and have built quite a few DJB kits in the past .

I didn't like the BR 2-6-4T's in thier day, nor for years afterwards, but now I consider they make for very attractive models.

I am in the process of this kit now from MOK and so far so good.

I took delivery of an MOK motor gearbox a few days before Christmas. Mine is also for a 4MT tank but on the lovely Korean metal wheels on 5mm axles. The unit is of very high quality and is a lovely running fit on the axles.

They are available from MOK, they did a set for the 9F and then followed up with the BR standard 4 75xxx and 80xxx

A pleasure to work with real quality castings.

My own build of this kit is going well.
Do those of you who have built one advise adding any extra weight to the model? If yes, how much and where do you recommend adding it?
I am almost at the stage where I am going to lose access to some potential spaces that might accommodate extra mass.
Thanks

Hi John,
I have not added any extra weight to my Standard tank. It handles 8 Mk1 coaches without any trouble.
