Campbeltown and Machrihanish

The Campbeltown and Machrihanish Light Railway was a 6 mile 2'3" gauge line that ran across the Argyll peninsula in Scotland. It was Scotland's only passenger carrying narrow gauge railway. Originally operated by smaller machines from Kerr Stuart and Andrew Barclay, the latter went on to produce two handsome 0-6-2T locomotives that became the stalwarts of traction on the line between 1907 and the lines closure in 1934.

The model has been produced using original drawings from the Andrew Barclay archive. They carry simplified liveries as to the prototoype, and in order to give the models great operational scope, the names ARGYLL and ATLANTIC and the railway emblem (which were painted on), have been omitted from the model. In addition, the Campbeltown and Machrihanish Light Railway added buffers to the locomotives upon their arrival from Andrew Barclay, but in order for the model to negotiate 12" and 9" curves it has been necessary to omit these from the model.
