7 1/4 gauge 0-4-0 Petrol Hydraulic Loco Buddy and driving truck.

7 1/4 gauge 0-4-0 Petrol Hydraulic Loco Buddy and driving truck.

Unused following a re-evaluation of locomotives at GLMR after covid this Loco has been tested and is sold working. Powered by a 4 stroke petrol engine complete with a custom exhaust which means it doesn't sound like a lawnmower! Power is then transmitted through  belt to the hydrostatic gearbox which allows you to control speed and direction. The loco is packed full of unique and character features. Chain driven to both wheels this loco has a sensible amount of power to haul two coaches on the flat and it has been seen to do this! 

Built, we believe by an ex-miner as it originated from the Northumbria Region of England and has a Miners headlamp on its bonnet. The loco is a complete one-off and well build by an experienced engineer. 

Built on a steel chassis with steel body and some fine details on both chassis and body. 

The original Hydrostatic drive is still in place and has had its oil changed in the last few years.

• Functioning brakes on the driving truck.

• Head and cab light fitted to loco.

• Controles in the cab.

• Loads of handy storage in the driving truck

• Comes complete with a spare petrol engine
