The Campbeltown & Machrihanish Light Railway was a 2' 3" gauge line that ran six miles across the Kintyre Peninsular on Scotland's west coast. It was built originally to carry coal from the mines to the port of Campbeltown and later, goods and passenger traffic were added. The railway had five locomotives over its 26 year history, the first three being small 0-4-0 and 0-4-2 engines. In 1906, Andrew Barclay Sons & Co. built a new 0-6-2 side tank locomotive for the line named 'Argyll' and the following year, a sister engine named 'Atlantic'. These were pretty large engines by narrow gauge standards and were an impressive sight in their Gamboge livery, hauling the elaborate balcony ended, panelled bogie coaches. Both loco's operated up to the closing of the railway and were finally cut up in 1935.

Silver Lady

 

Criccieth Castle It is the first in their new range of battery powered diesel outline locomotives. The engine was built at Boston Lodge for the Ffestiniog Railway from parts supplied by Baguley—Drewry and entered service in 1995. The model has been designed and built to be equal in performance to their steam models. It features a beefy motor and drive-train and at almost 3 kg is quite a heavyweight with performance to match. It will pull the heaviest trains at realistic speeds and keep going for several hours.
Make it something extra special with the optional onboard sound system.
Hear the engine start up when you switch the loco on and sit there with the engine ticking over. Open the throttle and the engine sound increases with the speed of the loco. Hear the air brakes operate or the horn sound as you press a third switch on the transmitter.
