7 1/4" Romulus

Here we have Steam Workshop rebuild No.30, a freelance rebuild of an existing Romulus that was originally built by a friend of ours, so a locomotive that we've known it's whole life. It's essentially a standard Romulus under the skin, with a bespoke body, the odd cosmetic tweak here and there to the frames and running boards and pannier tanks to make it visually a little different.

Inspired to a certain extent by the 2' gauge Hudswell Clarke 'Alpha', but obviously with a huge degree of poetic licence. There are twin injectors, one fed from the tanks and lubrication is mechanical.

Mechanically all's well with most fittings being beefed up a little over the standard Romulus design to produce a more robust loco, and all the bushes, bearings and pins have been renewed. The boiler is steel and comes with a fresh set of new tubes, healthy ultrasonic tests and a fresh boiler test both hydraulic and steam so she's fully renewed and ready for a fresh lease of life!

There's actually a YouTube series following our rebuild of this loco, filmed and produced by Mark in our workshops, which gives an extremely thorough overview of the entire process and shows the journey that this rebuild has taken.


As with most of our models, what you see isn't necessarily what you get!

We often photograph models pretty much as they come in to us, and then when someone phones to say they are interested we pull the model into our workshops and make sure everything is tested, sorted and ready to go.  So if you see the odd model photograph with a fitting missing or a return crank in the wrong place, that's just how it came in and certainly not how it will leave.

For any more information please don't hesitate to give us a bell on 07816 963463
