In this video we take a look at a true fine scale 7.25" gauge quarry hunslet named Bernstein built by a member of the Leyland Society of Model Engineering.
This has not been built from a kit, taking 8 full years to build, every part has been made from full scale works drawings, just scaled down to 3 5/8" to the foot scale.
The prototype locomotive is the 1898, works no.678, Quarry Hunslet originally built for the Dinorwic Slate Quarries in North Wales. Originally named No.1 it soon changed to Bernstein and remained working at the quarries into the 1960's. In preservation the loco ended up at the Lytham Creek Railway and renamed Jonathan by the owner and paint in a very unusual colour. The loco spent some time on loan at the Bala Lake railway in the late 1980's before spending a few years on Loan to the West Lancashire Light Railway. By the early 2000's the locomotive was returned home to Lytham and kept hidden away until it made a surprise appearance on display at the Statfold Barn Railway in 2021. Maybe we shall see it back in steam in the future??
For now we get to appreciate this locomotive in model form, without a doubt the most beautifully engineered built model locomotive I've ever seen.
