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.
Technical specifications for 'Atlantic'.
* Internal gas firing using our ‘FG’ type burner.
* Fully sprung 0-6-2 outside framed chassis with two double acting slide valve cylinders
operated by simplified Walschaerts type valve gear
* Water top-up system and water gauge.
* Controls fitted as standard are :- steam regulator, safety valve, pressure gauge, displacement
lubricator, gas regulator and reversing gear.
* Glazed cab windows.
* Dimensions are (loading gauge), Length 375mm, Width 115mm, Height 160mm
* Weight 4 Kg. (with Radio Control fitted).
* Full radio control is available for both regulator and reversing valve gear using 2.4GHz R/C.
* A gauge conversion kit is available separately to allow changing between 32mm and 45mm
gauge. Please state gauge when ordering
* Fitted with insulated wheels as standard.
* Available in any standard ROUNDHOUSE colour.

‘Classic Series’

Taliesin is a single Fairlie running on the Ffestiniog Railway in North Wales. Although the original locomotive was built in 1876 by the Vulcan Foundry, our model is based on the re-build/new-build, constructed at Boston Lodge, that entered service in 1999.
The FR Fairlies, both single and double, have always attracted a lot of interest due to their unusual appearance and the fact that they are articulated locomotives.
The articulated front power bogie enables this relatively long engine to operate on small radius curves with minimum overhang.
This detailed model captures the look of these distinctive engines and has the usual Roundhouse performance that customers have come to expect.
Technical specifications
0-4-4 single Fairlie with two double acting slide valve cylinders operated by Roundhouse inside valve gear.
Internally gas fired using our ‘FG’ type system.
Controls fitted as standard are :- steam regulator, safety valve, pressure gauge, displacement lubricator, water gauge, boiler top up valve and gas regulator.
Two channel radio control fitted as standard for both speed and direction.
Available in all standard Roundhouse colours.
Available for 32mm or 45mm gauge (not adjustable).
Dimensions are :- length 342mm, width 113mm, height 134mm,
Please note :- Insulated wheels are available on this model and, it is available for either 32mm or 45mm gauge, but is not adjustable between the two so please state gauge when ordering. |

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.
Technical specifications for 'Criccieth Castle'.
* 0-6-0 outside framed chassis with high quality Buhler motor and
precision made steel and bronze gear set.
* Fitted with full radio control for both speed and direction (and
sound if fitted).
* Rechargeable NiMh batteries (8 on loco) for excellent running
time, complete with fast charger for in-situ charging.
* Directional head lights and colour side lights
* Gauge adjustable between 32mm and 45mm gauge.
* Insulated wheels as standard.
* Fully glazed windows and removable roof to access detailed interior.
* Available with optional sound system featuring realistic engine
start up and running plus air brakes and horn all operable from
