Braveheart was completed by Alan Kemp in 1995 and is named after the movie released that year. Last steamed in the late 1990’s or early 2000’s Braveheart has recently been undergoing minor work to return her to service.
With a newly completed boiler certificate Braveheart returned to the rails on 22 January 2023 for a shakedown run to identify other required repairs.
Braveheart is built to the Martin Evans “Rob Roy” design and is an 0-6-0 Tank engine based on Caledonian Railway class 498 designed by John F. McIntosh. The model’s light weight allows it to be lifted by one person, however it should manage to pull three adults around the track.
