Detailed Description
Known to many as the "Baby Rustons", these small diesel locomotives were used in various goods yards and industrial areas. They are ideal for all sorts of operations from shunting to hauling small goods services. A 'must have’ for modellers of industrial scenes but will also be suitable for BR era main line layouts and preservation sites, where many of the survivors now reside.

Customers praised this O gauge locomotive as "a great little runner" with excellent detail and smooth operation. The metal body provides good weight and traction. Reviews highlighted it as "great value" and "perfect introduction to O gauge" for small layouts. One customer noted a defect with bent buffer and broken control lever.
Perfect O gauge loco and it’s in a OO gauge sized box which fits away easily
Using in a mini diorama- very pleased
Really heavy for it’s size and simple effective lighting
This will be a great locomotive to repaint in War Department for WW2 diorama
A great little engine and runs nicely. Will be great on the small industrial layout that I am planning. Will look even better when weathered.
Would be good to have a sound version on a future batch.
Last one in stock which shows this 48DS is great value for money.
Colour unusual but prototypical
Great addition to any Southern O gauge layout
Great packaging and arrived in perfect condition
Highly recommend as easy way to try O gauge on a small layout
Lovely Little Loco, great details and a smooth runner.
A great little runner, at under £100 & predominantly metal build I'll be letting the grandson drive it.
It's the perfect introduction to model railways & competes favourably with the usual oo gauge Thomas the tank engine.
These a great intro into O gauge for a good price.
Colour pops
Very pleased with this Loco which runs well and has a nice weight , very good value and will buy from you again.
Well packed and arrived quickly & safely.
Solid little shunter for micro layout
Perfect micro layout project loco
My third Ruston 48ds and it's another beauty. It drives great, just like the other 2. Going to weather it and add a driver.
Really heavy and great size for building first micro layout
Bought this to paint it, such a great loco
Nice little model with metal body and preparation for sound decoder.
I was able to run it in on a rolling road and then gave it a good work out on a large outdoor layout. It worked very well and pulled the train load of wagons with ease.
Another top value 0 gauge loco. Really suits a bit of grime.
