This O16.5 / NG7 Taliesin-inspired Single Fairlie body kit is designed for 7mm scale narrow gauge layouts. Inspired by the famous Ffestiniog Railway locomotive, the model is intended to fit a modified Hornby 0-4-0 chassis and is suitable for O scale narrow gauge modelling. This resin printed body kit has been designed to fit a modified Hornby 0-4-0 chassis such as Hornby Smokey Joe / Hornby Holden tank. This chassis was chosen as a simple, entry level chassis. The model could be adapted to another suitable 0-4-0 chassis The model uses a powered front bogie with a separate trailing bogie to give reliable running on tight O16.5 curves while still capturing the character of a small Fairlie locomotive. The articulated front and rear bogie mechanisms run with full bearings, helping the model handle the sort of tight curves and gradients often found on compact O16.5 narrow gauge layouts. The body is supplied as a high-detail resin print with: separate removable cab roof detailed rivet work rear coal bunker separate full articulated front and trailing bogie frames NEM 362 coupling pockets The rear bogie is designed to accept standard O16.5 wheelsets (specifically Hornby 12.5-12.7 diameter wheels) and the model can be adapted by experienced modellers to suit their preferred chassis arrangement. The first 10 models come with free’Narrow Planet’ etched brass Name and Works plates What’s Included Resin printed locomotive body Separate cab roof Rear bogie frame components Presentation storage box What You’ll Need Adapted Hornby Smokey Joe or Holden 0-4-0 chassis (or your choice) Rear wheels and axles NEM 362 compatible couplings Paint, glazing and finishing materials Scale & Gauge Scale: 7mm / O scale narrow gauge Gauge: O16.5 Suitable for OO gauge track This model is intended for experienced modellers comfortable with chassis adaptation, assembly and finishing. The example photographs show several stages of assembly and painting, including a finished demonstration model. Perfect for: Ffestiniog Railway inspired layouts Welsh narrow gauge modelling freelance industrial and quarry railways compact O16.5 layouts modellers looking for something a little different from the usual quarry Hunslet Designed and produced by MH Modelworks in Manchester.

Bachmann Branchline 391-101, 009 Scale, Narrow Gauge, Ffestiniog Railway Double Fairlie’Merddin Emrys’ FR Lined maroon. DDC Ready (Next 18). The Bachmann Narrow Gauge Double Fairlie locomotive follows in the footsteps of the award winning Baldwin 10-12-D, Bachmann Narrow Gauge’s first OO9 scale locomotive which was released to great acclaim in 2018. Synonymous with the Ffestiniog Railway, the Double Fairlie is an icon of the Narrow Gauge world and this instantly recognisable locomotive is now available in OO9 scale for the first time. The Bachmann Narrow Gauge model incorporates a high level of detail, with tooling designed to accommodate the detail variants seen on the real locomotives in order to produce a model of the highest fidelity, which is brought to life by the exquisite livery application that combines Ffestiniog Railway-specification colours with authentic lining, crests and plates. The precision moulded bodies are adorned with numerous individual components, including the real brass handrails and the metal tank filler cap rings, along with fine mouldings for parts such as the steam fountain, cab controls and tallow cups. Provision for DCC is a given and the model incorporates a Next18 DCC decoder socket, easily accessed via a removable panel on the underside of the model, plus pre-fitted speakers on all versions.
