Horton

Horton started as an ideal engine for a garden railway and was intended to be offered as a class for sale. It has the power of a Tinkerbell but with the comfort of a tender engine.

A slightly larger version, built as a 2-6-0 was planned but never pursued.

Horton’s name originates from the name of a local Dorset village and the road that you find Moors Valley Railway on here in Hampshire.
