Leeds No.1

Leeds N^o 1 worked on the 2' gauge main line which ran from Masham to Leighton Reservoir. The engine was reputedly scrapped in the 1930s.

The model faithfully reproduces the well riveted cab and is further enhanced by many brass castings. The model is internaily gas fired and has twin channel radio control for speed and direction. The radio control is powered by rechargeable batteries, those on the locomotive being charged in situ. A battery charger will be required for this engine.

The engine has user friendly controls such as underfloor lubricator drain and underfloor water level check valve. The cab roof lifts up sideways to give access to gas, water and oil fillers.

Leeds N^o 1 is a scale model which will grace the mantelpiece but is robust and will give hours of pleasure on a garden railway.
