Free reservation for Roundhouse Tom Rolt 0-4-2T live steam locomotive

FREE UK delivery on all locos from TrackShack.

Stock due November 2010.

The prototype was designed at the Talyllyn Railway Pendre works, and built using parts from a 1948 Barclay 3' gauge locomotive as well as many new items. The project took over 20 years to complete and the loco entered service in 1991 as No.7, TOM ROLT. It is named after the transport history and engineering author, L. T. C. Rolt who inspired the rescue of the Talyllyn Railway by volunteers and was the TR's first general manager after preservation.
In the last 19 years, the loco has undergone a number of minor changes and our model is based on the engine as originally built.

Free reservation for Roundhouse Atlantic 0-6-2T llve steam locomotive

FREE UK delivery on all locos from TrackShack.

Stock due November 2010.

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.
