Overview
Dolgoch is a 5" Gauge recreation of one of the oldest locomotives still in service; the Fletcher, Jennings & Co. 0-4-0 Dolgoch . The was the first locomotive to run on the Talyllyn railway upon entering preservation. The 5" gauge version was designed by Don Young. It has a simple round barrel boiler design with a relatively small grate area. Fletchers Patent Valve Gear presents some unusual and complex variations from the usually used methods of valve gear actuation which can be a little difficult to get working efficiently. As a narrow gauge locomotive it is physically larger than 5" gauge representations of mainline steam, weighing around 80 Kg upon completion.
