The loco is internally gas fired with a center flue boiler. The model is gauge adjustable from 32mm (‘O’ gauge) to 45mm (‘1′ gauge) and has insulated wheels as standard. The axles run in bronze bearings and all the rods and valve gear are manufactured from stainless steel. The loco is fitted with standard chopper couplings and tilting cab roof.
This particular engine is a radio control version set to 'G' gauge. The Futaba remote control operates the throttle lever by means of a single servo, forward and reverse operation is via the manually operated lever inside the cab. The control handset operates on 8 x AA batteries and the servo battery pack on 4 x AAA batteries. The cab roof flips up and over sideways to give access to the gas, water and lubricator fillers. The boiler is fitted with a water level check valve and the displacement lubricator has an under floor drain valve.
The model is built from stainless steel and brass, and with the correct maintenance, will give a lifetime of pleasure.
