CARADOC 0-4-0T. FREELANCE MODEL

Caradoc is a freelance side tank locomotive with design inspirations from Hunslet. The loco is internally gas fired with a centre flue boiler. The model is gauge adjustable from 32mm (‘O' gauge) to 45mm (‘1' gauge) and has insulated wheels as standard. The axles run in bronze bearings and all the rods and valve gear are manufactured from stainless steel.

The engine is manually controlled but suitable for radio control to be fitted. The cab roof slides back to give access to the gas, water and lubricator fillers. The boiler is fitted with a water level check valve and the displacement lubricator has an under floor drain valve.

The model is built from stainless steel and brass, and with the correct maintenance, will give a lifetime of pleasure.
