The Ultimate Live Steam Tank Locomotive Kit for 5'' Gauge |
| Of Kings and Castles.... It is a tale well told of Kings and Castles, of battles lost and won by the giants of pre-nationalisation steam - the glory days of rivalry between companies and engineers to produce the fastest and most powerful loco-motives of their day. A time for satisfaction in a job well done; when a well turned out engine was a matter of individual pride. It is also a tale of the hardworking tank locos that formed the backbone of branch line steam. Beautiful little engines as quintessentially British as cricket on the village green; their memory preserved forever in the hearts and minds of those with a true appreciation of the golden years of steam railways. We proudly present the latest model in our new range of live steam kits - a Great Western ‘14xx’ Class. Now you can enjoy building and driving this lovely engine - truly a little prince amongst Kings and Castles.... Top  |
