Mick Bayliss Loco commissions
Great Central Railway Robinson 8A (Tiny) class 0-8-0 no. 48. I am still taking on commissions to build models and this is my latest. Built from the very good, but in some areas very difficult, Gladiator kit, with an RG7 Portescap motor and gear unit and Slaters wheels. Power collection is by my favoured American method, which uses the tender wheels to collect power from one side of the track and the loco wheels from the other, this method avoids the use of plunger pickups, which in my opinion often prove troublesome. The superb GCR fully lined black livery was applied by Warren Haywood.
