Live steam 7.25”g. “Bagnalls of Stafford”,
0-4-0 Heavy duty locomotive

An almost completed example of the narrow gauge, thus over scale compared to standard gauge, Bagnall, the original company was based adjacent to Stafford Station and supplied locomotives worldwide.

This one has a steel boiler boiler made by Bell Boilers complete with full drawings, documents, etc.

The locomotive is built to the drawings of MJEngineering and comes with drawings.

She has an injector and handpump, though the fittings for an axle pump are included in the basket of parts. The handbrake is very effective.

The model has been run on compressed air.

I estimate that the work done so far is 80% towards completion. The main job is to install the main tender tank cover/top, the water on/off valves for the water boiler feeds are situated on the footplate.

Visitors to inspect welcome. I live just 3 minutes from M6 Jct 7. North Birmingham.

Measurements :

Loco - 48” long, 20” wide, 38” high. Wheel diameter 6”.
Tender - 32” long, 20” wide, 20” high.

5” gauge USA Shay Logging locomotive,
twin cylinder.

An extremely rare example of the powerful Shay, with the telescopic connecting rods, gears on each of the eight wheels of the twin bogies making it very low geared. In addition the telescopic connecting rods allow for use on very rough track.

Steel boiler but unfortunately one tube leaking. Needs replacing with a new copper tube. Has done some good club running – the sort of model the closure you look the better the model engineering gets, excellent workmanship.

She has one injector, one handpump and a displacement cylinder lubricator.

Comes with the display track.

Measurements : 41” long, 12” wide, 21” high.

VERY RARE Beyer Garrett, 0-4-0/ 0-4-0,
Baddesley Colliery loco, 5” gauage.

A superb model of the Baddesley Colliery (near Coventry), Beyer Garrett. It worked there for many years, the line fed direct onto the Midland Railway mainline, hence the model is in Midland Railway livery. The original full size locomotive is now in Bressingham Steam Museum

Ideal for the club track, bags of power and does not cause the inconvenience of the “too long” Garretts which are too long for the average steaming bay, turntable, loading lift, etc.

She has twin injectors, handpump, steam brake, twin cylinder displacement lubricators, etc. Comes with the Transport/storage track as shown on the photographs.

Measurements : 51” long, 10” wide, 15” high.

7.25” gauge RARE GWR 54xx 0-6-0,
with driving trolley.

A very rare in 7.25” gauge GWR 54xx - the only one I have ever seen and tremendously powerful. We had it in steam on the rolling road and the exhaust beat was blasting away.

She has twin injectors - worked off water from the driving trolley, each having its own on/off valve, displacement cylinder lubricator, etc. Definitely built to be a great workshorse though would look super in GWR livery.

The driving trolley has fold away foot rests, the coal bunker is deep and will carry a large amount of coal and easy to get at for firing on the move.

Measurements -

Locomotive : 45” long, 14” wide, 19” high.

Driving trolley : 23” long, 12” wide, 18” high.

Stuart Turner 501 boiler with ST 10v.

A “high quality” working steam raising boiler and steam operated ST 10v in sparkling showroom condition.

The model, built by a highly experienced model engineer, has been run on steam using the pair of propane gas burners. These provide a sufficiently high temperature to generate steam for a much larger engine should it be required by the new owner. The hand pump has a large capacity too and would easily maintain the boiler level for the higher steam output.

The model also has a whistle, displacement lubricator, regulator for steam supply, double propane burner, boiler blowdown valve, etc.

Baseboard measures : 15” square.
