3 1/2 inch gauge GER T19 2-4-0 - stock code 9999

A venerable example of LBSC's "Petrolea", the great man's take on Holden's T19 class of 4-4-0 built for the Great Eastern Railway from 1886 (although for some unfathomable reason somebody decided to paint it in their idea of GWR livery).

Offered as a restoration project, the regulator is seized open; motion doesn't currently run on air in either direction; the offside coupling rod catches the running board and there's a plug missing from the dome.

A handsome engine, normally seen smartly turned out in Great Eastern dark blue - there are pictures of a nice one (scaled up to 5 inch gauge) which we sold years ago in the archive here.
