32/45mm narrow gauge Accucraft "Hugh Napier" Hunslet 0-4-0T

An Accucraft 32mm gauge, 16mm scale large Quarry Hunslet No.855 of 1904 "Hugh Napier"

In excellent condition, the engine has had hydraulic and steam tests in our workshop with new certification issued - it runs well, better in forwards than reverse.

The original locomotive survives in preservation, owned by the National Trust and formerly based at Penrhyn Castle Railway Museum (home of several interesting locomotives including "Charles" - sister engine to "Linda" and "Blanche" of the Ffestiniog Railway and "Fire Queen" of 1848, one of the oldest surviving narrow gauge locomotives).

Currently resident at the Ffestiniog Railway under a long term loan arrangement, these days sporting the fabulous "Mars Bar" livery - well worth a visit to Porthmadog when it's next out if you haven't seen it (and easy to combine with a day at Penrhyn Castle, which is just up the road).

There is further information about the locomotive and an operator's manual available for download from Accucraft's website.
