Criccieth Castle
£715 r/c £865 r/c & sound
Criccieth Castle is the first in a new range of battery
powered diesel outline locomotives. The engine was built at Boston Lodge for the
Ffestiniog Railway from parts supplied by Baguley—Drewry and entered service in
1995.
The model has been designed and built to be equal in performance to thier steam
models. It features a beefy motor and drive-train and at almost 3 kg is quite a
heavyweight with performance to match.
It will pull the heaviest trains at realistic speeds and keep going for several
hours.
Make it something extra special with the optional onboard
sound system.
Hear the engine start up when you switch the loco on and sit there with the
engine ticking over. Open the throttle and the engine sound increases with the
speed of the loco. Hear the air brakes operate or the horn sound as you press a
third switch on the transmitter.

CLASSIC SERIES
Taliesin £1790
Taliesin is a single Fairlie running on the Ffestiniog Railway in North
Wales. Although the original locomotive was built in 1876 by the Vulcan Foundry,
this model is based on the re-build/new-build, constructed at Boston Lodge, that
entered service in 1999.
The FR Fairlies, both single and double, have always attracted a lot of interest
due to their unusual appearance and the fact that they are articulated
locomotives.
The articulated front power bogie enables this relatively long engine to operate
on small radius curves with minimum overhang.
This detailed model captures the look of these distinctive engines and has the
usual Roundhouse performance that customers have come to expect.
Production will commence in August 2008 and orders are now being taken.

CARRIE
£1070 Manual £1195 r/c
Now discontinued - I have some already ordered and available later in 2008
Following numerous requests over the intervening years to re-introduce ’Pooter’, Roundhouse have finally succumbed and offer ’Carrie’ as his family successor. Though visually very similar to ’Charles Pooter’, mechanically there are many changes to bring the design in line with current customer requirement . With this in mind, a name change was required to avoid confusion.
Just as on the original, the model has Hackworth valve gear and the distinctive front sand boxes, but now incorporates new features such as internal gas firing and a boiler top up system with water gauge. We are sure that Carrie will prove equally as popular today as Pooter was twenty years ago.

SRRL #24
R/C £2750.00 Manual £2530.00
#24 was built by Baldwin at their Philadelphia works in 1919 for the Sandy River and Rangeley Lakes Railroad in Maine, USA. It was the last locomotive bought by the railroad, was over 46 feet long, weighed an impressive 43.75 tons and had a tractive effort of 10,115 lbs. Despite the fact that it was considered an excellent piece of motive power, it was sadly scrapped in 1936 along with the rest of the railroad.
This superbly detailed model is of the locomotive as running in the 1920's. Although measuring 28" (700mm) long, it will still negotiate track down to 600mm (2') radius, thus allowing operation on all LGB track. A working water system is incorperated into the model with water tank and pump in the tender and water gauge on the boiler allowing continuous steaming for long periods.
