3 1/2 inch gauge Black 5 - stock code 11315

A 3 1/2 inch gauge LMS Black 5, the work of an experienced model engineer who went on to build an award winning "Patriot" in the same gauge.

The engine has come to us from the late builder's family. Unused in some years, it has seen regular club use in the past - it now requires recommissioning.

Although carrying a Northern Association number, the boiler has come to us without previous documentation. It has had an initial twice working pressure hydraulic test and is warrantied as sound, although will require stripping for thorough examination and test before use.
