Robin

Please note, we regret that this locomotive is not currently in production and further orders cannot be taken.

ROBIN is not intended to represent any particular prototype but is typical of many small narrow gauge industrial and contractors locomotives built in the early years of last century. It has much of the look of some of the Bagnall or Decauville tank locos but, for simplicity and reliability, it has the Hackworth valve gear much used by Kerr Stuart. It is produced as a basic locomotive without excessive detailing but with a good mechanical specification and is offered at an attractive price. 
Like all our locomotives it is hand built with care and personal attention to detail.

ROBIN is produced in side tank and saddle tank versions.

The boiler is 4 1/2" long, with a  capacity of approximately 160ml.
When fully run-in, the boiler duration is 25 to 30 minutes in average conditions if not re-filled.

The locomotive is of  0-4-0 configuration.   Wheels are approximately 1 1/8" dia.
Length over buffer beams 7 1/4",  Overall width  3 3/4"
Height over cab roof  5 7/8" 
Minimum operating radius 2'6".

The gas regulator is on the front of the cab, just below the roof line.
The manual control version features a reversing lever inside the right hand side of the cab.  The steam regulator is accessible through the cab rear sheet.
On the radio control version the receiver is attached to the cab back sheet,  the servos are under the cab floor and the batteries are under the hinged roof on either side of the gas tank.  The receiver crystal can be changed without having to disturb the bodywork. 

The loco comes complete with Boiler Pressure Feed system, Name and Number Plates of your choice, an initial supply of Steam Oil, Gas Jet Pricker and Owners Manual. 
Saddle tank locos are also supplied with a tubular spanner for the safety valve.
