MR 'BIG BERTHA' 0-10-0 EARLY SAMPLE
At the recent Settle Model Rail Festival, we got the chance to take a look at a very early sample of the 'Lickey Banker' 0-10-0 (aka 'Big Bertha') . This is an initial engineering sample that has been heavily used for testing purposes and hand painted into BR black by Jenny Kirk.
At the show the loco was seen hauling huge wagon trains along DCC Concepts' Ribblehead Layout and performed without fault - so we look forward to seeing updated samples of this release in the future!

Finally we also got to take a closer look at KR Models' all new model of 'The Shay' steam locomotive in HO Gauge! This highly anticipated model is currently undergoing modification work at the factory to ensure it runs to the best of its ability and we hope to hear more about a release date on these very soon.
