A 3 1/2 inch gauge Pacific, modelled along the lines of LBSC's "Britannia" although with Baker valve gear and Art Deco cab.

The work of a prolific engineer (we have two other of his engines in at the moment, a Schools and "Virginia") who also built model aircraft, these engines have not been run in many years. They have been simply detailed but well put together, the boilers are nicely made - all three have been hydraulic tested and, notwithstanding leaks from various fittings, are sound and warrantied as such.

The engine runs on air, it would require little work to put it back into steam. The gunmetal cylinder are fitted with piston valves, screw reverser in cab.

Length loco 34 inches
Length of tender 18 inches
