Specifications

Caradoc is a freelance design model with inspirations from Hunslet.  The loco is internally gas fired with a centre flue boiler.  The cab roof slides back to give access to the gas, water, and lubricator fillers.  The boiler is fitted with a water level check valve and the displacement lubricator has an under floor drain valve.

The model is built from stainless steel and brass, and with the correct maintenance will give a lifetime of pleasure.

The loco is dual gauge for 32mm and 45mm gauges and has insulated wheels as standard.
