RIVERDALE locomotives
Amy is an impressive locomotive
Riverdale Locomotives, based in the Netherlands, supplies coal-fired locomotives and kits based on a new principle. The well thought simple design allows for long running times just as with gas-fired locomotives without topping up coal and water. A damper keeps the pressure at a constant value with any trainload and speed. Full remote control including the damper and an optional whistle is possible. All this combines the ease of a gas-fired locomotive with the fun of building a coal fire.
The cab lay out is very neat and leaves ample room for a driver and a fireman. The water gauge and blower hand wheel are close to scale. All radio control equipment is fully hidden except for the regulator servo.
Elke is our little favorite
The coal-fired Amy and Elke are based on the proven Roundhouse Lady Ann resp. Billy chassis and body. Amy and Elke are also available as kits and can be built with a Riverdale coal-fired boiler kit and Roundhouse kits & parts which need to be purchased separately. Converting an existing Billy or Lady Ann is also possible. . Visit us at: www.riverdale-loco.com
