Maxitrak 7 1/4" E.M Baldwin NEW MODEL

7 1/4 Inch Gauge E.M Baldwin: New for 2027 Building on our engineering expertise we are pleased to announce a new model for our battery electric 7 1/4" range; the popular E.M Baldwin, already a stalwart in 5" gauge and 16mm alike! Estimated Cost from £5995.00 ESTIMATED DELIVERY DATE JAN 2027 The original engines were constructed by EM Baldwin and sons of Castle Hill, New South Wales, Australia. The company supplied smaller locomotives for industry from the 1950's to the 1980's. Designs included shunting, mining and tunnel locomotives but the most common surviving engines were built for the Queensland sugar industry. At this time the extensive 2ft gauge lines were changing from steam to diesel traction. EM Baldwin built a large number of the replacement diesels to a continuously evolving design, to the extend that there are hardly two alike. Engines and gearboxes varied depending on power requirements and suppliers delivery dates etc. The usual sugar industry livery was bright yellow with red and white striped buffer beams, many enjoyed further enhancement with coloured stripes and panels giving the modeller many opportunities to customise the standard colour scheme. Many of these engines are still hard at work in the cane cutting season, and form the backbone of the largest surviving 2ft gauge industrial railway system in the world. Why settle for a box on wheels? This is an accurate copy of a full size locomotive with all the detail and realism you would expect from Maxitrak! Our model offers a wealth of detail surrounding a solid steel body and chassis with a 24v control system, 2 or 4 batteries and 4 geared motors make it powerful yet easy to single-handedly manoeuvre when broken down into bogies, chassis, body and batteries. Options available for this model are Yellow or Maroon livery with green, yellow, red or silver stripe, sound system (additional cost), hand held or radio controlled (additional cost). Gauge. 7 1/4" or 7 1/2" Length: 1465mm Width: 495mm Height: 728mm Bogie Wheel Centres: 275mm Weight: TBA (dry) Motors. 4 x geared 350watt Minimum Radius: 12ft Rad (proposed) Control. 24V Electronic Load. 15-20 person CAD drawing shown, we may have detail changes on production models.
