3 1/2 inch narrow gauge 0-4-2ST - stock code 10550

A 3 1/2 inch narrow gauge 0-4-2ST of rather appealing, freelance design with a touch of Neilson & Co about it.

An older engine, it steams freely and runs well in either direction - there's some video on our YouTube channel here..

The boiler has had hydraulic and steam tests with new certification issued, feeds and safety valve all worked reliably on test.

We like this one - a quirky narrow gauge design, of plausible outline and well put together originally.
