A venerable example of LBSC's "Virginia", a nineteenth century American 4-4-0. It's came as part of a larger collection of 2 and 3 inch scale traction engines and wagons we bought recently, the engine had been on display in the owner's kitchen - it looks as if it last saw a fire decades ago.
Flamboyantly painted, chassis quite nicely made, fountain and all fitting leak copiously.
