Ffestiniog Railway diesel locomotives - (click detail for more images)
Picture
Mary Ann - Simplex 4w petrol.  Built from the 'special edition' Wrightlines kit by myself and Brian Love - an article by Brian on regauging the Wrightlines 'spud' unit to 14mm appeared in NG&I Review 49.  The loco is finished in its 1960's condition.

Picture
Moelwyn - WW1 Baldwin petrol tractor.  This is the Niel Sayer kit built and modified by Brian Love.  The model is of the loco as running in 2010/11.

Picture
Harlech Castle/Castell Harlech - Baguley/Freery 0-6-0d.  It is the Chivers kit built by Brian Love and given a late 1990's finish.

Picture
Vale of Ffestiniog - Funkey B-Bd 1967.  Built from a Worsley Works scratch-aid body kit, BullAnt chassis and Brian Love magic.  Finished in the magnificent  1990s National Power blue livery.

Picture
Moel y Gest (Castell Arghhh!) - the Hunslet built Boston Lodge shunter.  A modified Chris Ward body, a 4w BullAnt chassis, plates by Narrow Planet, basic butchery by me and. impressively, completed, painted and weathered by Chris Clark (all in the 'Links' section). A beautiful looking and running model.

Picture
Dick Kerr
During WW1 (War Department Light Railways) ordered 200 Petrol-Electric tractors, built by 2 manufactures, British Westinghouse Ltd & Dick Kerr Ltd. By February 1917 the first 3 of the production Petrol-Electric (believed to be Dick Kerr) tractors were sent to the then North Wales Narrow Gauge Railway (later Welsh Highland Railway), for extensive trials. It is believed that these were later sent on to the WD Testing & Training depot at Longmoor – eventually going to France.
The model represents a preserved and rebuilt example of the first loco, obviously the work was done by the Rhyd Heritage Group – and a fine job they made of her too (actually it was the work of Paul Lindsay-Scott).
