32mm narrow gauge radio-controlled Roundhouse WHR "Russell" - stock code 11092

A 32mm narrow gauge Welsh Highland "Russell" 2-6-2T by Roundhouse Engineering.

This one's come to us as a part exchange from a long-time customer and Feldbahn owner. Visiting the National Garden Railway Exhibition in Peterborough in 2019, he saw the model, fell in love and bought one on the spot!

Steamed three times in his ownership, it remains - as might be expected - in excellent cosmetic and mechanical order. We've steamed it again in the workshop this week, there's a video of it on our YouTube channel here.

Supplied in original box, complete with transmitter and manufacturer's toolkit, as well as a pair of fully functional 3D-printed lamps bought by the previous owner. A full specification for the locomotive is available on Roundhouse's website.
