I assume your talking 4mm/ft scale here.

K's used to do a kit years ago,these come up on eBay from time to time,but for some reason these old kits seem to fetch ridiculous prices

,considering to produce a decent model you have to junk the crap wheels and motor that are supplied by K's,and possibly the chunky brass frames as well..

Just checked Falcon Brass' website,and they don't do one,-so I don't know where else to suggest......

The Class 14 is also available as an etched kit by A1 models, Howes of Oxford are stockists:-

Evidently it's better than the cast Dave Alexander version [especially the cab,which is crude on the D.A. one].
Also Mercian Models are planning to do an etched model,according to their website,

There was also an MTK version years ago,-but this is probably best avoided...
