"Elsie
Muriel" Named after my Grandma from whom I inherited the money from which I used to buy it. Bought part secondhand un assembled chassis and the remainder from Winson. Currently awaiting repair to steam chests Produced by Polly Model Engineering |
![]() |
Trojan The second pre production run engine. Body work painted with the view as selling as a ready to run package deal. Worked out very time consuming and helped in the decision not to do ready to run models. |
![]() |
THOMAS This time a better model. Built on a terrier chassis this is a single motor engine run off one 12v sealed lead acid battery. Bought secondhand from an advert on Chris Heapy's pages. We have taken the flange off of the centre wheels to allow it to go around our track. |

HERCULES -No. 1 Un like with the Trojan this time I am keeping the prototype. Seen here just after its visit to the Harrogate show. We thought yellow would make a difference and stand out against the garden. Has a nasty habit of attracting flies. |

HERCULES No.4 This bearing version runs with the plates from Bobby. Having ball race bearings and no cranks this tends to be the main loco used. No checking and tightening of cranks to worry about. |

JASPER First Jasper loco - 2 motor 12v. Ideal for shunting or children. |

Prototype Kiddy Coach This was the prototype kiddy coach designed to take 3 kids. The bogies poke out the end to give a large span and a large drop floor. The design allows for the floor to be under 20mm from the rail and the seats around 200mm from the rail. After suffering from children that won't sit still we have articulated this coach with the DMU |
