R&H No. 265618 left Boultham Works on 11 October, 1948 and was purchased by the Longmorn- Glenlivet Distillery to connect with the Benriach-Glenlivet Distillery, using sections of the Glenlossie line, the last distillery railway operating in the Highlands. Longmorn closed in late 1979 and 265618, (then repainted to advertise Queen Anne whisky), was donated to the Strathspey Railway at Boat of Garten, along with the track and distillery wagons.

Looks pretty Ken and a very fine model, although it is going to be TINY!
Hornby really have come a long way, by moving production a long way!
Do I detect an electrical link from wagon to loco? Are they extending the electrical wheelbase by fitting them on the flat wagon too?

R&H No. 221645 left Boultham Works on 14 January, 1944 and was sent to the Ministry of Supply for Cwmavon Ordnance Depot in West Glamorgan. Between January 1952 and February 1959, Army 802 (as it became numbered) served at the Technical Stores sub-depot at Weedon in Northamptonshire, before being moved to storage at Long Marston. The locomotive was scrapped in January 1980.
R&H No. 458957 left Boultham Works on 6 July, 1961, being one of the final ten 48DS locomotives built and was purchased by John Dewar & Sons for use at their Inveralmond distillery, until its closure in 1994. The locomotive was saved for preservation and is currently operating at the Bridge of Dun station on the Caledonian Railway as 'Dewar Highlander'.
loco is 55mm in length
