Hi all, I am soon coming to the end of my 2" Burrell build. I have wanted to build a 4" road loco next, but I haven't the space to build one.

Is there anyone in the same position as me? I have been looking at the STW website, there is a 2" road loco on there. If we can get enough interest from others STW might bring it back into production.

I hope there is a few of you out there that, like me, want to build another engine, but haven't the space to build a 4" one.

Get back to me if anyone is interested and we can get in touch with Dean and find out if it could be possible to get the 2" road loco out of moth balls.

Would love a 4" Road Burrell but cant justify the money yet but want to get my hands back on engineering having left the workshop days behind to work on the CAD machines.

Are there any photos/owners around of the 2" road loco?

How many did they original produce?

I may be interested but not sure 2 of us would be enough for them to start production back up.

Unfortunantley no 2" Road locos were ever produced.

Hi, I have since emailed STW, and was told there is no plans to produce a 2" Road Loco at present.
They also said that it never went into production in the first place, they never had enough interest in it.
Like you PaulC, can't afford a 4" or have the space to build one.
