Most of the locomotives used on the layout are built by Ian Turner,
but I do have a few of my own, which are shown on this page. More
details of Ian's stock will follow.

Here is a picture of Miles
Bevan's Scotrail diesel. A repainted Lilliput diesel, it is extremely
powerful and can outpull most other locos used on the layout.
There is also a rake of BR livereried carriages which go with
it. |

This is the plan for my carriages. I am currently building
some of these carriages out of plasticard, and am hoping to
get them cast in resin so that I don't have to scratchbuild
too many of them.

A model of one of the British-built diesels for the South Argyll
Railway. Under BR it became politically incorrect to buy foreign
diesels, and so these were constructed for the line by English
Electric. These diesels have proved to be not as reliable as
the Austrian ones.
Over christmas I ripped the cab off this diesel and replaced
it, so the loco looks much better. Will post a new photo soon.

One of the original locomotives bought for the forestry branch
is still in existence, and is shown here. This Bagnall proved
to be substantially underpowered for the job, and was replaced
very quickly by a larger locomotive.

This locomotive is built from a Backwoods kit for the Pentwan
Railway locomotive 'Canopus'. It is seen here in the showcase
at Narrow Gauge South in 1998 where it won an award. It has
never been used on Glenbranter because I botched the quartering
job and melted the plastic wheel centres.

'Caernarfon Castle' was the victim of a friend and model shop
owner afflicted with dropsey (Thanks Dave!). Dave dropped it
only 20cm, but that was too much for the styrene and it broke.
I had just finished it and haven't had the heart to try building
another one. Anyhow, there is now a kit available from Worsley
Works.
