We've had this one in before, recently back in part exchange for a ploughing engine.

A well-made 2 inch scale Fowler DCC Showmans Road Locomotive to the Plastow "Princess" design. The engine has been part-disassembled - there is a canopy but no supports and a generator.

Silver-soldered copper boiler by Swindon Boilers, 100psi working pressure. Feed by injector and mechanical pump driven from crankshaft. Compound cylinder block in gunmetal with slide valves actuated by Stephenson's reversing gear. Mechanical lubricator.

A large engine, it's a two man lift.
