32/45mm coal fired Locomotive 0-4-0T - stock code 12278

An interesting 32/45mm gauge convertible 0-4-0, built from what appears to be a commercially produced chassis, fitted with a coal-fired boiler. This one has come to us as part of a large collection of gauge 1 locomotives, none of which appear to have been run in some years.

Tested on air the engine ran well in both directions, on hydraulic test the boiler showed no signs of leaks or distortion.

The axle pump doesn't currently work, fit and finish of platework and painting is a little rough and ready in places - but overall it's a decently put together thing with some nice, quite delicate, detailing.

Includes free UK shipping.
