It's recently come back along with the 5 inch gauge Britannia "Oliver Cromwell". Pictures opposite and words below are from last time it was here - condition remains largely unchanged.
We sold this one back in 2008, it's recently come back in from the family of the man we sold it to thirteen years ago.
Engine has seized whilst in storage, although this is not uncommon in Atkinsons and generally not difficult to rectify.
