This O16.5 / NG7 Taliesin-inspired Single Fairlie body kit is designed for 7mm scale narrow gauge layouts. Inspired by the famous Ffestiniog Railway locomotive, the model is intended to fit a modified Hornby 0-4-0 chassis and is suitable for O scale narrow gauge modelling.
This resin printed body kit has been designed to fit a modified Hornby 0-4-0 chassis such as Hornby Smokey Joe / Hornby Holden tank. This chassis was chosen as a simple, entry level chassis. The model could be adapted to another suitable 0-4-0 chassis
The model uses a powered front bogie with a separate trailing bogie to give reliable running on tight O16.5 curves while still capturing the character of a small Fairlie locomotive.
The articulated front and rear bogie mechanisms run with full bearings, helping the model handle the sort of tight curves and gradients often found on compact O16.5 narrow gauge layouts.
The body is supplied as a high-detail resin print with:
The rear bogie is designed to accept standard O16.5 wheelsets (specifically Hornby 12.5-12.7 diameter wheels) and the model can be adapted by experienced modellers to suit their preferred chassis arrangement.
The first 10 models come with free ‘Narrow Planet’ etched brass Name and Works plates
What’s Included
What You’ll Need
Adapted Hornby Smokey Joe or Holden 0-4-0 chassis (or your choice)
Rear wheels and axles
NEM 362 compatible couplings
Paint, glazing and finishing materials
Scale & Gauge
This model is intended for experienced modellers comfortable with chassis adaptation, assembly and finishing.
The example photographs show several stages of assembly and painting, including a finished demonstration model.
Perfect for:
Ffestiniog Railway inspired layouts
Welsh narrow gauge modelling
freelance industrial and quarry railways
compact O16.5 layouts
modellers looking for something a little different from the usual quarry Hunslet
