More Information
Accucraft Trains UK are pleased to confirm the return of a much-loved live steam classic: The Accucraft Mortimer!
The Re-Released Accucraft Mortimer is a freelance 0-4-0 saddle tank locomotive with design inspirations from Avonside and Peckett. Re-engineered with an all new chassis, featuring slide valves and Walschaerts valve gear. First introduced over 25 years ago along with Caradoc, this model is compact, reliable and offers an ideal introduction into the world of 16mm live steam. Manufactured in Japan, painting and lining completed in China.
The loco is internally gas fired with a centre flue boiler. The model is gauge adjustable from 32mm (‘O’ gauge) to 45mm (‘1′ gauge) and has insulated wheels as standard. The axles run in bronze bearings and all the rods and valve gear are manufactured from stainless steel. The the loco is fitted with our standard chopper couplings and tilting cab roof.
The engine is available in manual control, the cab roof flips up and over sideways to give access to the gas, water and lubricator fillers. The boiler is fitted with a water level check valve and the displacement lubricator has an under floor drain valve.
The model is built from stainless steel and brass, and with the correct maintenance, will give a lifetime of pleasure. Proposed liveries for the re-release are as per CAD drawings, let us know which livery you prefer and we'll do the rest! (Studio shots are from the last batch so are of a historical nature)
