Description
2007 was the 25th Anniversary year of Roundhouse and to mark this occasion a deluxe version of the venerable Lady Anne locomotive which has been in production since our first year was offered. So popular, it has remained in production ever since.
This design includes a host of features and extra detailing including sprung chassis, water top up system, simulated cylinder drain cocks and much more.
The engine styling is still recognisable as ‘Lady Anne’, but with many subtle differences that make it something special. Check out the extra rivet detail, twin slide bar cylinders with dummy combination levers, glazed spectacles, copper capped chimney, ornate polished brass steam dome and a whole host of other detailing items.
The model is fitted with special commemorative etched nickel silver works plates and a pair of matching SILVER LADY name plates are supplied loose in case you prefer to name her yourself.
In 2018 Silver Lady took part in an arduous 71 mile journey across the Scottish Highlands as part of the TV programme ‘The Biggest Little Railway In The World’.
