RVLR 0-4-0T steam loco No. 12 - "BREDON" - This loco was built from a "TINY" STEAM LOCO KIT - a card kit produced by LOCOLINES - and has been fitted with a "BUDGET CHASSIS" made by I P ENGINEERING. Lamps came from the CAMBRIAN MODELS range. (Links correct at 10 May 2008.)
Please note that I have no connection with Locolines, I P Engineering or Cambrian Models apart from being a very satisfied customer.
