Our new 16mm Maxitrak Fowler 0-6-0 jack shaft diesel represents the type of industrial locomotive produced by Fowler of Leeds in the run up to the second World War. They feature a front mounted gear box and jack shaft system driving all six wheels. The cab footplate is low in the chassis giving a low overall height where clearances are tight. The centre wheels are flangeless making the model suitable for LGB number 1 radius. The chassis and foot plate are steel construction with a robust (3mm thick) 3D printed body. Manual controls are mounted on a steel switch panel in the cab, there are also several remote control options available. Full size versions survive in preservation in Australia.
