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.
