3 1/2 inch gauge LMS Black 5 - stock code 10991

A well-built 3 1/2 inch gauge LMS Black 5 to LBSC's well-regarded "Doris" design.

This one has come to us as part of a collection of 3 1/2 and 5 inch gauge steam and battery-electric locomotives, along with his workshop equipment, from a long time customer of ours now downsizing.

The commercially-built, CE-marked boiler has had hydraulic and steam tests in recent days with new certification issued.

In good order, the engine presents well in LMS black livery.

Complete with some spare castings, including grates and tender dummy leaf springs.

A well-sorted locomotive, it steams freely and runs very nicely. The engine is offered with 12 months warranty, set of firing irons and a starter kit of coal and oil.

We would be more than happy to give half a day's instruction on the steaming, running and disposal of the engine to a new owner if required.
