New for 2024, "Mazeppa" is the latest addition to our range of 7 1/4 inch gauge locomotives, an 0-4-0 saddle tank inspired by pre-war industrial designs from firms such as Manning Wardle of Leeds.
Sharing the same well-proven running gear and boiler as our other Clubman range locomotives, Mazeppa is an ideal engine both for beginners starting out in this gauge as well as those requiring a robust, powerful locomotive for club running.
The boiler is UKCA and CE marked, all welded construction with expanded tubes and fitted with a fusible plug. Inspected by Lloyds during build, it comes complete with a documentation pack including material, welder's and initial hydraulic test certificate.
The spoked wheels are machined from EN8 steel, keyed and press-fitted to EN16T axles, running in sealed roller bearings.
Comprehensively equipped, the standard specification includes:
- Vacuum brake equipment - ejector, steam valve, driver's brake valve, vacuum gauge
- Valve chest pressure gauge
- TIG-welded stainless steel saddle tank, 24.6 litre/5.4 imp gallon capacity
