We originally bought this one from the builder back in 2017, it sold to a local man, keeping a "Feldbahn" company on his garden railway. Something of an electronics whizz, in his ownership the locomotive was fitted with a powerful headlamp, new cab controls, volt and ammeters and a GPS speedometer - all well thought out and neatly executed.
Still in good running order, although the Eaton hydrostatic gearbox needs a replacement oil seal on the output shaft - the last owner simply contrived a tray to collect the drips!
Photographs opposite and words below are from last time it was here - it's in much the same condition now.
There's a short clip of it here, taken in our yard in recent days.
A robustly constructed 7 1/4 inch gauge petrol-hydraulic shunter, using a 9hp electric start four stroke engine coupled to the inevitable Eaton transmission.
Fitted with two tone horns and electric cooling fan for the transmission, complete with a comfortable ride in tender. Paintwork has been done to a good standard and remains in excellent condition.
