Steam outline / Phoenix collection
Timber Creek
An unexpected steam outline.
Model history
Timber Creek grew from two battery powered logging locomotives built by Peter Griffiths. Their appearance drew on Climax and Heisler geared engines, and Phoenix developed the idea into a production design.
The chimney and boiler shaped body gave it a steam locomotive outline, while electric motors provided the drive. The original layout allowed the driver to sit inside the body.
Phoenix’s historical specification described two 750 W, 24 V motors per bogie, a pre welded chassis and folded or rolled body panels. Contact MRW with enquiries about the design.
