0-4-0 TROJAN LOCO 




Kit Instructions

Thank you for purchasing a Ride on Railways Trojan Kit

HISTORY

The Trojan was my attempt to improve on what was on the market back in 2001. Having burnt a pair of motors out I looked and thought you can fit four motors in there. The first two locos were prototypes but basically the chassis has stayed the same over the years. The only major changes has been the forced change of motors when Fasco stop manufacturing and the change over to the iDrive motor contoller which has given the loco a new lease of life.
