These showed themselves to be successful locomotives but their 65 ton weight and 2,000 gallon water capacity meant that they tended to be restricted to suburban passenger traffic. In 1909 Harry Holcroft, working in the Swindon drawing office, obtained permission for a working trip to Canada and was much impressed with the small-wheeled ‘moguls’ in use there. Churchward was looking forward to the replacement of various of his predecessor’s 4-4-0 classes on secondary duties and, knowing of Holcroft’s interest in the type, approached him and asked, “Get me out a 2-6-0 with 5′ 8″ wheels, outside cylinders, the No. 4 boiler and bring in all the standard details you can.”  Using parts ‘off the shelf’, the cab and outside cylinders of the ‘Saint’ class, the wheels of ’31XX’ 2-6-2 tank, the No. 4 boiler (in its superheated form) and a 3500 gallon tender, little additional design work was required.  After the initial 20 had been produced with the short ‘Saint’ style cab subsequent locomotives had the cab extended 9″ to accommodate the injector better, trading route availability for ease of maintenance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe class was built in a series of batches from 1911 until 1923 with Collett adding further examples (with a side-window cab) between 1925 and 1932 and in total 342 of these useful mixed traffic locomotives were built, they were at home with passenger trains at 60mph as as with moderately heavy goods trains.  Like any long-lived design, numerous details differed between batches including cab length, outside steam-pipes, ballast weights, experiments with oil-firing and the fitting of screw reverse to the Collett examples.  The class served all over the Great Western and operated to destinations as diverse as Tonbridge, Andover and Liverpool and 11 examples from the 53XX series were sent to France to serve with the Railways Operating Division (ROD) during WW1.  During the 1930s class members were withdrawn and their wheels and motion parts used to create the ‘Manors’ and ‘Granges’, a process interrupted by WW2 after which British Railways started to scrap the entire class, the last examples being withdrawn in 1964.  Luckily two survived, No. 5322, now at Didcot Railway Centre, and Collett example No. 9303 at the Severn Valley Railway.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe model is built to1:32 scale for 45mm gauge track, gas-fired with a single flue boiler.  Built to a similar formula as the very successful 61XX 2-6-2T, the chassis is constructed from stainless steel, the wheels are un-insulated. The boiler is copper, the cab and bodywork are constructed from etched brass. The gas tank is in a water bath in the tender.  The model will run round 4′ 6″ radius curves and is happy on code 332 or code 250 tracks, however, we do not recommend running through LGB code 332 pointwork.  We are aware that there were a large number of livery variations among members of the class and will therefore be offering the variants subject to order volume.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSpecification:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eScale: 1:32\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eGauge: 45mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eLength over buffers: 580mm (22½ inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWidth: 90mm (3½ inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eHeight: 119mm (4¾ inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eMin Radius: 1.3m (4′6″)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBoiler: Centre Flue, superheater\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWorking Pressure: 60psi\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eValve Gear: Piston valves, two cylinders\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFuel: Butane Gas\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBoiler Fittings: Safety valve, pressure gauge, water gauge.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eCab Controls: Steam regulator, gas regulator, reverse lever, lubricator\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eConstruction:  Copper boiler, Brass boiler jacket, Brass cab, Etched brass bodywork, Steel drivers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLiveries available ask for details.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eS32-16A – Unlined GWR green ‘Great Western’\u003cbr\u003eS32-16B – Unlined GWR green ‘GWR’\u003cbr\u003eS32-16C – Unlined BR black with early emblem\u003cbr\u003eS32-16D – Unlined BR black with late crest\u003cbr\u003eS32-16E – Lined BR green with early emblem\u003cbr\u003eS32-16F – Lined BR green with late crest\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Accucraft","offers":[{"title":"Unlined GWR green S32-16B","offer_id":44409151815939,"sku":"S32-16A","price":2750.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"Unlined BR black with late crest S32-16D","offer_id":45827508470019,"sku":"","price":2750.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Unlined BR black with early emblem S32-16C","offer_id":54846757699958,"sku":"","price":2750.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"Lined BR green with early emblem S32-16E","offer_id":54846757732726,"sku":"","price":2895.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Lined BR green with late crest S32-16F","offer_id":54846757765494,"sku":"","price":2895.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0460\/3527\/1846\/files\/MG_6881_28398581-3748-48fb-bb17-aed9191403ad.jpg?v=1737468207"},{"product_id":"rheidol-bagnall-2-4-0t","title":"Accucraft Live Steam ‘RHEIDOL’ Bagnall 2-4-0T","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eTake advantage of the reduced sale price,  now £1695.00 down from £1795.00!!\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eRadio control version available for an additional cost, please contact us: info@maxitrak.com with any enquiries. \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe are delighted to offer the Bagnall 2-4-0T\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eRheidol, \u003c\/em\u003eoriginally named\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eTreze de Maio\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e(Portuguese for 13th May, the date on which slavery was abolished in Brazil), the engine was built by Bagnalls of Stafford for Collier Antunes for a sugar cane plantation in 1896 but never delivered as the order was cancelled, instead the locomotive was re-gauged from 2’ 5 ½” gauge to 2’ 3” gauge when it was sold to the Plynlimon and Hafan Tramway and named\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eTalybont\u003c\/em\u003e.

Orders were built for New York, Indiana, Ohio, Michigan, Alabama, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Washington State, Minnesota and Hawaii. In addition, exports were built for Queensland Australia, Japan, Puerto Rico and more. Despite its small stature, the design was built for a wide variety of gauges including 50cm, 24”, 30” 36”, 42” and standard gauge. The 13-2 Class A is a 2 cylinder, 13 Ton conventional straight boiler design, and differs from other 13 Ton ‘T’ boiler and tapered boiler designs.  Today there is only one known survivor of this design of 13-2 Class A, as built for Queensland, Australia which is now preserved at the Nambour Museum in beautifully restored, non-operational condition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe model will be gauge-adjustable for 32mm and 45mm and will come with two types of stack as typically supplied by Lima when built.  Supplied in either black or green and now planished (Russian) iron.  Our thanks to David Fletcher for the superb illustrations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe are pleased to be able to offer the 13T Shay with a three livery variations; green; black or planished ‘Russian’ iron.  The planished was popular among 19th Century locomotive builders, particularly in the USA.  The name is applied to sheet iron with a very highly polished or glazed surface. It is used for protecting the lagging of engines and boilers and for other uses where a non-corroding black iron of finished surface is desired.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese sheets are made by piling together about fifty pickled sheets of soft steel with powdered charcoal sprinkled between adjacent sheets. The pile is wrapped in old sheets, wired and heated in a furnace to a cherry-red heat for about six hours. Upon cooling, each sheet is swept free of loose charcoal and is then sprayed with steam to form a thin oxide. Again the sheets are piled together, heated and then placed on the hammer table, several in a bundle, and pounded with a steam hammer. This brings about a grinding action which grinds the carbon and oxide on the surface down to a highly polished coating.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003ePlease contact: info@maxitrak.com to register your interest in this model and for an update on availability.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1:20.3 Scale – 45 mm Gauge\/32mm Gauge (adjustable)\u003cbr\u003eBrass, Copper \u0026amp; Stainless Steel Construction\u003cbr\u003e48 in.
