The new Bachmann Narrow Gauge model of Linda brings the story of this Mainline Hunslet locomotive right up to date, with models of Linda as operating on the Penrhyn Quarry Railway and in her early-Ffestiniog Railway condition already produced by Bachmann in OO9 scale. Our latest release depicts Linda in her current condition as a 2-4-0 Saddle Tank with Tender (2-4-0STT) and carrying the vibrant Ffestiniog Railway Green livery.
This model was first announced during the Ffestiniog Railways Bygones Weekend. Linda (and sister locomotive Blanche) have called the Ffestiniog Railway home since 1963, and we would like thank the railway for the support and advice they have given so generously during the development of these Bachmann Narrow Gauge models.
Originally built as a 0-4-0ST for the Penrhyn Quarry Railway, Linda was purchased by the Ffestiniog Railway in 1963 and underwent conversion to left-hand drive, was fitted with a tender and had her cab profile modified, before being rebuilt as a 2-4-0STT in 1970, during which she was also converted to oil firing. Converted back to coal firing in 2013, this Bachmann Narrow Gauge model depicts Linda in the condition she ran from 2013 until 2021, before being taken out of service for overhaul.
These small but mighty models feature a diecast metal saddle tank, cylinder block, frames and footplate; coupled with a precision moulded cab, smokebox and other separate detail components to produce a model that is strong and robust yet intricately detailed. The cab interior is a work of art and through the firebox hole firebox lighting is fitted which operates on both analogue and DCC. Talking of DCC, with a Next18 DCC decoder socket and a pre-fitted speaker its easy to convert your model for DCC running or why not make it even easier and opt for a SOUND FITTED model to really bring your layout to life!
