I am very happy to see these 2 come back into production as I almost bought 1 but was downtrodden when I was told they had just stopped producing them.

Drawing on a number of years' experience in the field, Smith & Harrison Engineering specialise in producing highly detailed and reliable battery-powered models for 16mm garden railways.

All of the models are constructed from high quality materials to give maximum durability and reliability. These include brass etched bodies and laser cut steel frames to ensure fine detail and strength. They are given an extensive test run to ensure that you receive an engine that will run 'straight from the box', and give hours of pleasure. Locomotives are available in various colour schemes and are supplied dual gauge. They include batteries and a suitable charger.

I would have set a link up but couldnt.

any pictures ??

yes but I cant seem to copy them just go to the PPS website and scroll down to Smith and Harrison and their are some there.

Nearly £400 for a battery operated, manual control shunter???

Am I missing something? If so, what is so special about these that they cost that much?

exactly, I'd just make my own for 1/4 the price, or less!

well they are (used to be) made in small batches and from the review I read on them they are well worth the money.
and the green 1 used to be RC but that seems to have changed.

I must agree that, it'd be cheaper to buy an I.P Engineering shunter. Personally I'd rather pour money in to a hole from which a large strong mainline loco would appear.

You seem to have changed a bit Will! Or are you not referring to Tornado?

I'm talking about locos such as the I.P Jack, etc...

that you have to build yourself.

Yep, I do enjoy that bit.....

I hate it

I knew you wouldnt donate anything to them!

I have the badge, which somone bought me at Railfest!! The only impresive thing is that they did use it at highspeed and nothing fell off.

exactly, because ITS BRAND NEW... therefore probably one of the reasons why they did it - to use at high speed on mainline...

anyway, where's the 'off topid' symbol gone.. . ..

But I would have much prfered to have seen a P2 do that if the money was going to be spent anyway.

:knob:

Just saw that the Locobox Isabel has been taken off from the list on the PPS website. I hope locobox manages to do something with those locos and manage to relaunch them in a modified form.
