Moderators Popular Post AY Mod Posted December 21, 2023 Moderators Popular Post Share Posted December 21, 2023 Are you ready for something different, daring but delightful? Designed and manufactured by W.G.Bagnall of Stafford for the Port of Par railway this diminutive and distinctive design of 0-4-0 saddle tank locomotive will give OO modellers something very different for their scenes with a locomotive type used where restricted headroom is available due to bridges and other structures and suitable for tight curvature. Whilst two locomotives were built for the Port of Par in 1937 and 1953 Bagnalls, as an industrial locomotive builder, manufactured products, both standard and narrow gauge, for an impressive number of private railways as well as the national railways from their Castle Engine Works with a design catalogue that customers could choose to purchase from with the ability to adapt standard designs to specific needs. It is with that premise in mind that other customers could have chosen to have locomotives built to this unique design finding use at sites where height restrictions were a consideration – and it just looks superb! Our exclusive model designed in consultation with Andy Hardy and Corwin Bainbridge of Rapido Trains UK sports a striking Oxford blue National Coal Board livery with white lining and lettering and red connecting rods using the same welded tank style as the 1953 built locomotive. As the NCB lettering has been kept to the cabside bunkers the design is suitable, and ideal, for modellers to customise with space on the saddle tank sides to add nameplates of choice from third party suppliers. The model includes a highly-detailed cab interior, posable rear cab shutters, a diecast metal running plate, sprung buffers and bufferbeam inserts with scale couplings as an optional fit. The model features a coreless motor and flywheel running from plunger pickups, geared for slow running with a factory-fitted speaker for sound. For the DCC sound model, ESU have been working with Rapido and it will be fitted with an ESU Nano chip and a bespoke electronic setup to help with smooth running on DCC. Rapido have already established their credentials with making very small models that perform superbly and powerfully with their Liverpool and Manchester Railway ‘Lion’ so our model of this tiny Bagnall will not be troubled by the trainloads that modellers will run behind it. Of course, this is an ideal partner for our previously announced NCB 7-plank internal user wagons from Rapido. Doesn’t it look gorgeous in these CAD renders? Sure, it's a 'what might have been' but it's definitely got the cute factor! Our model is available in both DCC-ready and DCC-sound forms priced at £139.95 and £249.95 plus postage respectively. Product codes and prices 968005 (DCC Ready) £139.95 plus postage 968505 (DCC SOUND) £249.95 plus postage https://worldofrailways.hooluh.co.uk/locomotives 27 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Fair Oak Junction Posted December 21, 2023 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 21, 2023 Oh yes, that is VERY nice! Perfectly suited for a whole host of layouts out there. I've already got way too many PoP Twins on pre-order otherwise I would partake, but I can see these being popular 👌 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm being up front about what it is and that it is appealing; and why not? It would have been available for an industrial user to acquire from Bagnall. Anyway; they're already selling. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Fair Oak Junction Posted December 21, 2023 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 21, 2023 I can just picture one of these, absolutely filthy, pottering around the tight curves and clearances of a small colliery, flange squealing like mad 😄 I'd be tempted to paint the bufferbeams with wasp stripes.....oh god, I'm talking myself into one 🤣 5 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pedantically, from experience of 0-4-0's, the model won't be suitable for overly tight curvatures due to the overhang of the coupling from the wheelbase.

45568 Posted December 21, 2023 Share Posted December 21, 2023 Pye Hill colliery in Nottinghamshire had a very low bridge under the M.R. main line, one of the locos is shown here: https://www.flickr.com/photos/profsb/37335011224/ Not too great a leap to use one of these in a similar situation?!?

No Decorum Posted December 21, 2023 Share Posted December 21, 2023 “a locomotive type used where restricted headroom is available due to bridges and other structures…” If you fancy a compact, multi-level layout, you won’t need such a long incline to clear the tunnel at the lower level. The blue does look lovely. There’s a chance as well to affix nameplates bearing the name of a female one needs to impress (assuming she isn’t Judy). Add to all that, Modelu will produce a suitably hunched crew for the little machine. Sound too. All good. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold big jim Posted December 22, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 22, 2023 Grumble grumble….. nothing in it for me……. wrong scale……. slightly wrong shade of blue…….

Ruston Posted December 22, 2023 Share Posted December 22, 2023 Stick some wasp stripes on the tank front, add some block buffers, and this could be a perfect stablemate for my Peckett. If they haven't sold out by the New Year I might just have to order one. 16 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
