Today on The Railway Room, a look at the brand new Kato/Peco Large England 009 scale Narrow Gauge Model of 'Welsh Pony'.
Following on from their highly successful models of the small England locos 'Prince' and 'Princess' in 009 narrow gauge, Japanese manufacturer Kato and British manufacturer Peco continue their collaboration with the release of large Englands 'Little Giant' and 'Welsh Pony'. In this video, I'm looking at 51-251D 'Welsh Pony' in brown livery. First off I unbox the model, then have a close look at the model before running it through some test, affixing the grab irons, & offering up my first thoughts having had the loco less than a week.
Features footage of 'South West Lancs Light Railway' built by Roger Christian and exhibited by Charles Insley, filmed at a meeting of the Merseyside and SW Lancs NG modelling group in Rainford.
