Rapido Trains UK<\/strong> have revealed fully tooled engineering samples for their all-new Andrew Barclay Fireless 0-4-0 locomotive in OO gauge<\/strong>!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

This new range recreates probably the best-known variant of the unusual Fireless locomotive style, ‘Caledonia’ in a huge range of colourful liveries covering usage at industrial sites across the UK. There’s even a special fictional ‘Guy Fawkes’ livery, perfect to pair with Rapido’s matching wagons.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

These industrial oddities survived far longer than most British Railways and industrial coal-fired steam locos with many examples working into the 1980s and even into the 1990s with many examples later preserved around the country – making them perfect for use on a huge variety of layouts.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

You can see images of the Fireless engineering samples here as well as colour renders for all the different models. Release dates are to be confirmed, so stay tuned for further updates.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
