Hornby have produced an exclusive and limited (only 200 pcs) 8F for Proses with TCDD 45161 plates. This loco is the sister of TCDD 45160 which is currently operational on the Gloucestershire Warwickshire Railway in UK.

There is a limited number of the models available so get in touch with Proses if you are interested (Email: info@proses.com).

Matching the Märklin 2011 annual topic "Montanunion", NOCH has produced the small mine "Victoria" with loading chutes. The mine can be extended with the separately available loading facility. Both kits are made by the popular NOCH Laser-Cut technology, lasered from a special coloured laser cardboard. Including glue for assembly. The NOCH Laser-Cut kits are produced in a limited edition of 1.000 pieces. Each kit contains a numbered certificate.


Small Mine "Victoria" – Basic Kit

The small shaft facility does not need much space and therefore, it can be also installed on small model railway layouts. The shaft house is a slim, iron-tied brick building. Hoist house and headframe are in a steel-profile design. Thus, this mine can be used as coal or salt mining. The position of the headframe to the engine house can be varied. The chutes are suitable for railcargo or truck loading.

Size Small Mine:
- Hoist house with loading chutes: 19,5 x 17,5 cm, 26,1 cm high (7.68 x 6.89 in., 10.28 in. high)
- Engine house: 10,6 x 11,2 cm, 10,2 cm high (4.17 x 4.41 in., 4.02 in. high)


"Loading Facility" – Extension Kit

The loading facility allows the loading of the bulk minerals on up to three tracks. The headroom for loading is suitable for all H0 track systems. Thanks to this extension, even bigger mines can be replicated.

Size Extension Kit Loading facility: 37,5 x 5 cm, 14,5 cm high

Click here for a large version of the image above. Note: Photos are of the pre-production engineering sample of 'Lew'. Details may change.

'Lew' was built in 1925 to a similar design to the previous Manning Wardle locomotives constructed for the Lynton & Barnstaple Railway, the main difference being a redesigned cab to eliminate a smoke trap, and give more room to the crew. Following the L & B tradition, she was named after one of the local rivers with a three-letter name. She was sold at auction along with other L&B equipment in November 1935, two months after the railway closed. However, she was purchased by the contractor dismantling the line and was used on these trains until July 1936. In September 1936, the loco sailed from Britain on the SS Sabor – believed to have been destined for a plantation in Brazil. Despite the efforts of many enthusiasts, no proof of the locomotive's current whereabouts, or eventual fate has been discovered. The Ffestiniog has recently completed a replica of the loco and christened it ‘Lyd’, thus continuing the tradition of three-letter river names.

The Accucraft model is internally gas fired and available either manually controlled or fitted with radio control. The engine is gauge adjustable for either 32mm ('0' gauge) or 45mm ('1' gauge) – all the parts for this are supplied with the model. This operation can be undertaken by the owner and only takes a few minutes. The cab roof lifts up to give access to the gas, water and lubricator fillers. The boiler is fitted with a water level check valve and the lubricator has an under floor drain.


The fully working Joy valve gear is, well, a 'joy' to behold!


The model features working cylinder drain cocks


Just the right amount of rivet detail too!
