Description: A 1' 11.5" gauge 0-4-0 vertical boiler locomotive similar to a De Winton, built by Falcon Engine & Car Works of Loughborough. It worked at the Moel-y-Gest Granite Quarry near Pothmadoc between 1904 and 1906. During this period it was photographed at Porthmadoc Harbour Station on the Festiniog railway. It is possible that it was a De Winton loco of earlier origin that was rebuilt by Falcon and resold with their plates.
The 5.5mm scale 12mm gauge model was 3D printed by Shapeways in their 'Frosted Detail' material to my own 3D design created from a drawing and prototype photo. It runs on a custom etched brass chassis from Narrow Planet to my specification with a gearbox from KB scale and a Mashima motor. The custom works plates are also by Narrow Planet. the driver is a white metal figure from Malcolm Savage Models which was printed to match the driver in the prototype photo. The loco is DCC fitted.
