Lionheart Trains has also shared images of the forthcoming ‘O’ gauge BR ‘3MT’ 2-6-2T. There’s still work to do, but the early signs are very promising.
Lionheart Trains is to launch a range of Lynton & Barnstaple models in 7mm scale, starting with the Manning Wardle 2-6-2T locomotives and a range of coaches. Designed to run on 16.5mm (‘OO’) gauge track, the locomotives will feature a compensated chassis, five-pole motor and Next18 DCC decoder socket and digital sound options. In addition to firebox glow effects, illuminated headlamps will also feature. All four of the L&B’s Manning Wardle locomotives will be produced, in each of the various L&B and Southern livery variations.
