As an alternative to our ready to run dynamo we are pleased to offer the Experienced Model Engineer a serious challenge in the form of a genuine open frame Alternator from our "Electrical Generation Range". This item is only supplied as a kit to machine in the model engineering workshop and will require a good understanding of engineering drawings and appreciation of some electrical theory.

Our own working prototype produces 6v a.c. @ 2600 r.p.m. but has the potential with adjustment to internal coil/magnetic clearances to exceed this. Over to you!

Customer Construction Images

This pair of Cotswold Heritage Alternators has been completed by one of our French customers taking approximatly 2 months to complete them and achieving excellent results - well done!

This is a comprehensive kit of castings, materials, fixings and drawing pack.

Further modeling products such as adhesives / paint may need to be acquired to complete.

* for the avoidance of doubt, the micrometer pictured is not included.

If your model engineering kit to machine is in stock at the time of ordering, where possible your order is dispatched the same or next working day. If your model is in production at the time of ordering, your payment card is not charged until your model is ready for dispatch. Customers placing an order that they require to be delivered on or before a certain date are advised to contact us directly.

UK orders are usually dispatched using Parcelforce's tracked, 'express 24 hour' service. This service makes delivery on business days only and for outlying or remote parts of the UK may take longer than 24 hours.

International orders may use Parcelforce's rapid Global Express, Euro Priority Business or Global Priority services. The initial stages of the checkout will calculate shipping to your country and select the most cost efficient shipping method we use before you commit to ordering a model. These services are some of the few on the market advertised as tracked and require signature / monitor delivery.

For both UK and International parcels, we have negotiated a significant, double-digit discount with our carrier and this is passed on to the customer. Customers considering ordering more than one model are advised to email us directly to gain where possible a combined shipping quotation since the website calculates costs on each model being shipped individually.
