Attached are the first shots of the new 0-4-0T loco that will eventually replace Edrig and Caradoc. We have no production date, or RRP, for this model at present.

'Ragleth' looks like 'Caradoc' but the tanks are cut back and the back of the cab has been re-styled. The gas tank has a low 'brake handle' type control which makes for a tidier cab layout. Also the cab roof tips sideways instead of sliding off backwards.

The tank tops share the same feature as 'Lawley', that is there is no inside tank return down to the boiler, this makes for more room in the tank and an easier fitting of R/C.

They intend to produce the model in the standard Maroon and Green liveries, plus Black and Dark Blue.

The loco is available in GWR Green or BR Black. A full set of name and number plates for both 'The Earl' and 'Countess' will be supplied for the customer to fix, according to which loco and era they require. The loco will negotiate 2 foot radius curves, slowly, but it is better if the minimum radius is kept down to 2 foot 6 inches.

News

An electric powered Countess in brass may appear! No production dates or price (approx. £995.00) have been set yet as they need to ascertain the interest. This will be a Limited edition run.

R19-13 W&L BOGIE SALOON COACH, SET OF 2, CHOCOLATE & CREAM - #4154
R19-14 W&L BOGIE COMPOSITE BRAKE COACH, SET OF 2, CHOCOLATE & CREAM - #6466, #6467

The coaches are only being supplied in the simplified GWR 1927 livery. They have tested them as to minimum radius and to their amazement they went round a standard R1 (2 foot) radius curve, However they will not do this sharp radius on a reverse curve. They are therefore saying the minimum radius is 3 feet. Photos of the composite brake coach are not available yet. Price £185.00 each. In Stock Now

Unlike some other manufacturers products this locomotive will be supplied ‘ready to run’, completely painted, lined, and numbered. The model will run round radius 3 curves and is happy on code 332 or code 250 tracks.

Order Codes:
E32-6 BLACK 5 - BR BLACK - EARLY EMBLEM - 45080
E32-7 BLACK 5 - BR BLACK - LATE CREST - 45010

L&B BOGIES - the RRP will be £10.00 for a pair of bogies, cast in zinc alloy. They will be painted black and come without wheels or couplings but with the draw bar. We are taking orders for these items now.

Please note the Isle of Man coaches will go round a standard R1 curve. However  due to the couplings, on a reverse curve there is additional friction so care must be taken going through this type of track configuration, but with care a rake of these coaches will be OK. There is no problem through a normal R1 curve.
