O16.5 Taliesin Single Fairlie Body Kit – 7mm Scale Narrow Gauge Locomotive for O Scale Layouts
£80.00

This O16.5 / NG7 Taliesin-inspired Single Fairlie body kit is designed for 7mm scale narrow gauge layouts. Inspired by the famous Ffestiniog Railway locomotive, the model is intended to fit a modified Hornby 0-4-0 chassis and is suitable for O scale narrow gauge modelling.

This resin printed body kit has been designed to fit a modified Hornby 0-4-0 chassis such as Hornby Smokey Joe / Hornby Holden tank.  This chassis was chosen as a simple, entry level chassis. The model could be adapted to another suitable 0-4-0 chassis

The model uses a powered front bogie with a separate trailing bogie to give reliable running on tight O16.5 curves while still capturing the character of a small Fairlie locomotive.

The articulated front and rear bogie mechanisms run with full bearings, helping the model handle the sort of tight curves and gradients often found on compact O16.5 narrow gauge layouts.

The body is supplied as a high-detail resin print with:

  • separate removable cab roof

  • detailed rivet work

  • rear coal bunker

  • separate full articulated front and trailing bogie frames

  • NEM 362 coupling pockets

The rear bogie is designed to accept standard O16.5 wheelsets (specifically Hornby 12.5-12.7 diameter wheels) and the model can be adapted by experienced modellers to suit their preferred chassis arrangement.

The first 10 models come with free ‘Narrow Planet’ etched brass Name and Works plates

What’s Included

  • Resin printed locomotive body

  • Separate cab roof

  • Rear bogie frame components

  • Presentation storage box

What You’ll Need

  • Adapted Hornby Smokey Joe or Holden 0-4-0 chassis (or your choice)

009 Narrow Gauge Locomotive Kit | Kato 11-105 Compatible | OO9 Model Railway Loco | MH Modelworks
from £27.00

This 009 narrow gauge locomotive kit is a highly detailed OO9 scale model railway loco body, specifically designed to fit the Kato 11-105 chassis. Ideal for compact layouts, quarry scenes and industrial railways, this model offers a smooth-running, reliable solution for modellers looking to build a distinctive narrow gauge locomotive.

Originally made in Manchester by the Beyer Peacock company, The model is in either the original form or the 'Swindonised' version that they were rebuilt as in 1929 & 1930, and which form they still have today.  To choose which one, select either 'Cambrian' or 'GWR / BR / Preserved' when you select the model.   The main differences are the smokebox and boiler fittings, and the cab was lengthened.

The model is 41 mm in height (from the railhead), 76mm in length (90mm including the couplings) and 27mm in width.

The model is made from 3d printed resin and is supplied unpainted.  It includes couplings but does not include handrails.  The holes for handrail knobs are located on the cab doors, smokebox and front of the tanks, and may need a little opening out with a small drill. I recommend Alan Gibson short handrail knobs (4M53) and 0.45mm wire (4M136).

The model is designed to fit a Kato 11-105 chassis, and so the running gear and valve gear are 'hidden' behind non-prototypical sideplates.  I'd be happy to supply the model without sideplates for advanced modellers who'd like to fit their own chassis.

The kit requires painting but is simple to assemble.  The cab roof is a separate part to allow the cab interior to be painted.

I can supply the kit with and without the Kato chassis - please select the right option when adding to the basket

For every model sold, I'll donate £2 to the Countess Restoration Fund so that we'll be able to see both locos running in 2027.

009 Narrow Gauge Water Tower and Coaling Stage
£20.00

This is a freelance model of a stone built water tower and coaling stage. It’s 3d printed in resin.

It’s supplied unpainted and will need an apron (the leather tube from the pipe that fills the tanks) and chain or rope adding to complete it.

You can add the apron using a piece of thick paper or electricians heat shrink cable wrapper.

The model is quite small - the base is 9cm x 3cm and it’s 6cm high. It’s supplied with a separate wooden lid for the tank, or you can leave it off.

Compatibility

This Water Tower and Coaling Stage would work well with my Signal Box or Ticket Office. Additionally, if you buy more than one model in one purchase, you only pay one lot of postage.
