The Garratt Locomotive
Other Types of Articulated Locomotives
I have been asked if I was going to show other types of articulated locomotives, so I've now started.
At present I am utilising a selection of photographs to show the types, I can deal with Fairlies & Shays from my own collection.
but most will listed but not pictured at first

This HO scale model was purchased from Ebay by myself (I won't mention the price paid) This model was designed by Trans-Europ (Rue de Douai - 75009 Paris) and issued as a kit in 6 sets, in 1990.
