A gauge 1 Welshpool & Llanfair Railway "Countess" by Aristocraft, modelled on one of the pair of locomotives supplied new to that railway by Beyer Peacock in 1902.

Attractively "Swindonized" after the railway was absorbed by the Great Western in 1923, the model shows the engine in its final form, in which it survives to this day along with "The Earl".

This one came to us as part of a small collection of 45mm narrow gauge locomotives. It's in good order, fitted with radio control, complete with transmitter.

Serviced and test-steamed in our workshop, there's some video of it running on our YouTube channel here.
