Taliesin from the Ffestiniog Railway in North Wales.

The production will start in August but they are taking orders for it now.
Deepish pockets required.

It is in their price list as Taliesin R/C - 1523.40 , but with current world money markets I'd expect that to go up somewhat.

For the price it's still a rather nice piece of engineering. I love the look of those powered bogies too. Next model from Roundhouse is sure to be a double fairlie too!

i had asked them that when i dropped my Bertie off and the answer is no sadly. My guess is the cost of the finished loco would be near £3000 so would be impracticle to set up the machines to make a loco that only a few can afford. IT would be fantastic if they did make one though

ROFL!!!

I'm looking forward to the reviews of Taliesin.  Archangel made NWNGR 0-6-4 Fairlie a long time ago, but it wasn't as fine a model as this.

I missed it completely, was too busy looking at the loco, guess its time for an eye test.

they won't produce a double failie is because the boiler would be incredibly complictaed to fire by roundhouse standards, and it wouldn't really keep up to their philosiphy of things being easy to run, also because Garden Railway folk are willing to pay way over £3000 for a fairlie...
