Originally built in 1891 for the extensive 1' 10"gauge Guinness brewery one of a total of 18 using this design, she was eventually scrapped in 1954. Designed in house by the Chief Engineer at Guinness Samuel Geoghegan, who helped draw up plans for a tributary to the nearby canal as well as the narrow gauge network. The locos were successful and all but the first built at William Spence & Co a local foundry. They even had frames that the locos could be dropped into to work on the 5' 3". The wheels engaged with rollers in the frame and through a geared system drove the main wheels.
The model is now available Ready To Run only.
The gas fired model is powered by a twin cylinder oscillating motor unit geared down for slow running with a working Jackshaft. It has a lever regulator, reverser, pressure gauge, water level gauge and a water top up valve.
The model is supplied with the Regner standard gas tank filler valve, the Ronson converted gas valve is offered as an extra.
The 1/2" & 3/4" Pressure gauges are for the ready to run models only. They are bottom entry and the 1/2" is nearer to scale. The Regner standard gauge is 23mm in diameter and rear entry so can appear bulky in an open cab.
