Walker Fenn 0 Gauge

(UK)

Believed to have been established in 1929, Walker Fenn are known for their clockwork mechanisms, which utilised a Marklin 0-6-0 chassis, which was fitted with a governor, to enable slow running. Others are known to have achieved similar results using the governors from a traditional telephone dial or record player (gramaphone). The Walker Fenn mechanism was fitted to both 0-6-0 and 4-6-0 tank locomotives, the 0-6-0 mechanism with govenor being the superior of the two.

A patent for a governor for clockwork motors was granted to Walker, H. E., and Fenn, H. H. 16th May 1929, having been submitted 19th July 1928.

The sheet of brass is provided to construct a cab roof. Interestingly, this loco has been purchased by a friend in the US, and I rather hope that he will provide photos of the finished item. Judging by his other work, which includes a twelve inch gauge live steam railroad, the results will be worth seeing.
