Hercules is an 0-6-0 tender engine. It is totally freelance in concept, being based on the Goliath chassis and boiler assembly. Hercules has a working tender housing a hand pump and a gas tank. Mounted under the tender is a radio controlled steam whistle.
The water capacity will allow for two hours' running, and the gas tank provides for up to an hour and a half. The gas tank also has a built in diaphragm regulator for constant gas supply and easy adjustment.
The running board regulator has a steam inlet valve and a valve to regulate oil flow.
Oil capacity matches the running time of the engine. If more continuous running is required the reservoir can be topped up whilst still in steam.
Hercules is finished in green or black as standard (note, photograph is of the prototype in red). It comes with both boiler and gas tank certificates.
