Hi everyone! When I started my layout in
lockdown 2020, I hesitated between a soviet
theme and a british theme. I chose the soviet
team but I still like British trains a lot.
That’s why I couldn’t resist buying this
littleHornby locomotive: the Peckett W4
I bought the analog version. The packaging
contains information about this historic
locomotive. The Peckett W4 is a small 0-4-0
steam locomotive built by “Peckett and Sons”
at the Atlas Works factory in Bristol, England

were built in total. This locomotive has a
small wheelbase and was often used as a shunter
by industrial companies. Three of these
locomotives still exist in preservation.

over 100 euros. It comes in a nice
protective packaging. Instructions for
maintaining the model are also included.
This locomotive feels quite heavy
despite its limited dimensions:
apparently a lot of metal was used.
There are a lot of separately fitted details on
this model: it takes a bit of care to handle it.
Let’s take a look at the weight: on my
scale we arrive at a weight of 109 grams.
That’s almost as heavy as my TRIX BR74 locomotive,
which is at least twice the size of this W4.
Now let’s take a closer look at the model.
This green livery is produced to a high standard.
The lining is very accurate. The external details
such as the separately fitted handrails are
very fine. The cap detail is really
