Caradoc

Accucraft Caradoc in LMS Maroon

Accucraft Caradoc in GWR Green

The Caradoc is a freelance side tank locomotive with design inspirations from Hunslet. The engine is manually controlled with cab roof sliding back to give excellent access to the simple controls. Alternatively, a factory fitted radio controlled version is available ready to go. The boiler is fitted with a drain plug to check the water level and the displacement lubricator has an under floor drain plug. The gas tank is in the cab, which is simply filled using a butane gas can and adaptor.

The loco is internally gas fired with a centre flue boiler. The wheel gauge can be easily changed from  45mm to 32mm as it comes with adjustable insulated wheels as standard. The axles run in bronze bearings and all the rods and valve gear are manufactured from stainless steel. The model body and chassis is built from stainless steel and brass, and with the correct maintenance, will give a lifetime of pleasure. A butane gas refill adaptor will be required to fill the gas tank - available separately.
