Bagnall Wingtank 0-4-0 in maroon
A sprightly little narrow gauge locomotive from Minitrains

Scale: 1:76 | Gauge: 9mm | OO9 | Ready To Run
There have been kits and may scratch built Bagnall Wingtank 0-4-0 narrow gauge locomotives but this was the first ready to run. Based on the Minitrains 0-4-0 chassis used on their Koppel and Krauss locomotives with the classic enclosed cab this small Bagnall is as expected a very good runner. The model is well made and has a good weight for its size. Currently the model is no longer available and is difficult to find on the second hand market but you will see them at exhibitions as they were very popular when released.
The colour is listed as Maroon which is apparently the correct shade and name for Bagnall's. To all the rest of us, it is brown.
