[OO] Andrew Barclay 0-4-0ST - Project Page

Andrew Barclay 14" & 16" 0-4-0ST

Developed & Manufactured by Hattons Model Railways

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.

We are producing a total of 8 14" versions and 4 16" versions in a wide variety of liveries and including the variations that would have originally been available from Andrew Barclay themselves.

Weathered Andrew Barclay Diorama
12/03/2018

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.
