### Mk 1:

Lady Anne was first produced in 1982 as an 0-4-0T, being Roundhouses second model. It was spirit fired, with slip-eccentric valve-gear and tin-plate superstructure. Modifications were made to the Mk 1: such as a polished brass dome. Radio Control was introduced on this model being housed in a four-wheel tender. It was discontinued the next year in 1983.

### Mk 2:

Launched in 1983 it mainly differed from Lady Anne Mk 1 in that it had a cab, it also had extra railings, brass chimney rim and the addition of a whistle. It was discontinued in 1984.

### Mk 3:

The third incarnation of the Lady Anne was released in 1995 (a full eleven years since the Mk 2 had been in-production). With the base-model being completely re-designed; having an 0-6-0T wheel arrangement, larger side tanks, enclosed cab, being fitted with the new FG type burner and much, much more. The Mk 3 is currently in-production and is one of the most iconic Roundhouse models; It was featured on Channel 4's *The Biggest Little Railway in the World* as a test locomotive for the special build team.
