0-6-0 ‘Harlech Catle MK.1’ (Radio Control) Diesel Locomotive

Expected Delivery November 2024 (Subject to Change at Manufacturer’s Discretion).

Built by Baguley-Drewry of Burton-on-Trent, Harlech Castle is the third in our series of battery diesel locomotives. Originally destined for Mozambique, the order was cancelled and she eventually found her way to the Ffestiniog Railway in 1988 where she is used by the Permanent Way Department.

This model has been designed and built to be equal in performance to our steam models. It features a powerful motor and drive-train and at almost 3 kg is quite a heavyweight, with performance to match.
