BAGNALL 7″ x 12″ Live Steam 0-4-0ST

Bagnall were renowned builders of industrial locomotives for both standard gauge and narrow gauge. They developed a huge range of designs and built numerous engines for the ‘big four’ and the MOD. The 7″ x 12″ saddle tank was a mid-range narrow gauge design with a marine firebox that could be supplied in a number of different formats. Several examples of the type have been preserved, the most famous of which are Woto and Sir Tom which were both originally built as 3′ 6″ gauge, working at the Callender’s Cable & Construction Company, Belvedere, Kent.

Encouraged by the success of the Quarry Hunslet, scaled down from our 7/8ths” version, we have decided to shrink the Bagnall saddle tank in the wash as well! With its stepped boiler, the little locomotive should have ample run time and will be available in either 32mm or 45mm gauge. Fitted with simplified Walschaerts valve gear, a removable cab roof and choice of chimneys with a gas control valve disguised as the brake stand and a dead-leg lubricator, we feel this little engine will be a winner. Once again David Fletcher has drawn the locomotive for us and illustrated a variety of attractive liveries and lining schemes.
