Hattons Originals AB 0-4-0ST
Developed & Manufactured by Hattons Model Railways
Hattons Model Railways produce a model of the Andrew Barclay 0-4-0ST 14" and 16" locomotives in OO gauge. These diminutive shunters saw usage across much of the UK on both major and industrial railways between the late 1890s and early 1980s, giving these a huge breadth of operation on layouts too.

Here's a little creative inspiration for you! One of our resident experts spent a night-in working on one of our Andrew Barclay locomotives and produced this incredible scene. NCB No.6 has been thoroughly weathered and coupled to a makeshift tender wagon and rake of coal hoppers. This creates a simple but realistic colliery diorama that would have been prototypical across the UK in the 60s & 70s. You can see similar locomotives working in such a way in the pictures below.

Andrew Barclay Sons & Co. were a locomotive building company based in Kilmarnock, Scotland. They became known for producing their standardised saddle tank locomotives, mainly for industrial use. They had a small selection of options available to prospective buyers such as alternative cabs, cylinders, chimneys and tanks.
The most numerous type produced were the 14" & 16" versions, referring to the diameter of the cylinders. Thousands of 0-4-0s were built by Andrew Barclay starting in the late 1800s. Many survived longer than mainline steam under BR, with some still running in the late 1970s. A large number are believed to be preserved across the UK.
