3 1/2 inch gauge "Rob Roy" 0-6-0T - stock code 11298

A 3 1/2 inch gauge Caledonian Railways 0-6-0T to Martin Evans' popular "Rob Roy" design, a particularly well made and nicely painted example.

The engine has come to us with no history for the boiler. It's had a twice working pressure hydraulic test at 160psi for 80psi working which showed no sign of leaks or deflection and we would warranty it as sound, however it will need to be lifted from the frames and the cladding removed for a repeat test before certification could be issued.

The chassis runs well on air.
