3 1/2 inch gauge Stanier 2-6-4T - stock code 12259

A 3 1/2 inch gauge Stanier 2-6-4T to Martin Evans' popular "Jubilee" design.

Offered as a running restoration, the boiler has had a twice working pressure hydraulic test with new certification issued and is warrantied as sound. The chassis runs on air in either direction.

Work required includes:

  • Motion brackets loose on both sides
  • Play in motionwork bushes and centre axleboxes/horns
  • One axlebox spring missing on right hand side
  • Injector clack leaks back - this will need reseating, the leak would prevent the injector working
  • Bottom gauge glass seals leaking, require replacement
  • Blocked blowdown valve needs stripping and cleaning
  • Replace missing brake handle
  • Replace missing lubricator
  • Minor leak from bottom gauge fitting threads - remove, seal and refit
