Prototype Info

W.G. Bagnall Ltd's Castle Engine Works in Stafford turned out its ubiquitous narrow gauge saddle tank locomotives over many decades from the turn of the 20th century. From industrial concerns across the UK ranging from quarries to breweries and then abroad during the war, many survived to be re-sold and found use across the globe and as far away as India and Japan.

The Narrow Planet model represents a generic example and includes details that allow the modeller to replicate many different prototypes, and its simple construction rewards careful assembly and provides the modeller a good basis for further detailing if they so desire.
