Requires Farish Motor bogie.
The Sentinel Wagon Works of Shrewsbury made several types of small shunting locomotives. These had small vertical boilers which supplied steam to vertical cylinders with chain drive to the wheels. The locos with their light weight could go anywhere and made economical use of both coal and water. These factors made them very popular with all types of users from small industrial concerns to the major railway companies. The LNER for example had 55. This is probably the most common of the designs, first built in 1925 and continued (with only slight external modification) through until the mid 1950's.
The kit contains castings to make the body which is designed to fit onto a Graham Farish Motor bogie which needs no modification. |
