This is a project for the 1.5″ scale ALLCHIN traction engine ‘Royal Chester’ to the W.J.Hughes design.
Started as one of two projects that the builder had under way the other being a 3.5″ gauge HUNSLET 4-6-0 Tank loco to the design by Robin Dyer. This project is quite well advanced with the boiler made to a good standard but as yet not tested, the wheels all made, most of the motion completed, all the necessary gears are present and a start has been made on the bunker. The horn plates and gearing are mostly assembled on the boiler and I hope the pictures give a clear indication of how much of the model is there. There is a set of drawings with this model and possibly a copy of the book by Hughes describing the build method.
