LMS Fowler experimental high pressure 4-6-0 no. 6399 Fury. This superb model was built from scratch with working inside motion by Bill Davis using AGH (Alan Harris) cast wheels, turned by Steve Ross and powered by an ABC Maxon motor/3 stage gear unit. Power collection is via the American method. The boiler and firebox was commissioned and produced as a one piece resin casting by Richard de Camin. The stunning paintwork is by Ian Rathbone and the model is featured on his excellent website https://www.ianrathbonemodelpainting.co.uk/gallery-1—7mm-scale.php and in the Gauge O Guild Gazette of May 2017.
The loco was built by the North British Locomotive Company at their Hyde Park Works in Glasgow in 1929. Basically a Royal Scot class with extended frames, two outside low pressure cylinders and an inside high pressure cylinder, operating on the Compound Principle. The double pressure boiler, designed to operate at 900psi and 250psi was built by the Superheater Company Ltd. The experiment was not a success. In 1930 a representative of the Superheater Company died from his injuries after being scalded on the footplate at Carstairs, when a high pressure tube burst. After repair the loco was trialled in 1934 between Derby and Wellingborough, with very little success. It was eventually rebuilt in 1935 by Mr. Stanier to become the final member of the Royal Scot class no. 6170 British Legion.
