Railmotor (7.25 Gauge)

Overview
The Railmotor was a small 0-4-0 locomotive originally designed by Don Young in 5" gauge, it was so popular that he redesigned it to be made in 7.25" gauge. The Cylinder bore is 1.75" and the driving wheels are 5.25".

Using the same basic chassis and boiler as the 7 1/4" gauge Railmotor Don Young also drew up 'Tug', a self-contained tank loco based on the Drummond designed 0-4-0 dockyard tanks.

Don Young described construction of both the 7 1/4" Railmotor and 'Tug', complete with reduced drawings, in his magazine Locomotives Large and Small commencing in issue number 41, November 1989, and ending in issue 48, August 1991.

Drawings and castings for both Railmotor (7 1/4" gauge) and Tug are available from Reeves 2000
