We have had several of these popular 4 inch scale Fosters over the years - they are a good-looking, powerful engine, easily capable of pulling loads of 5 tons on good ground. At 6 feet long and weighing almost half a ton, they are the ideal size for working over the "humps and hollows" of a typical rally field!

Length 72 inches (excluding seat)
Weight 8 1/2 cwt
