5 inch gauge "Chub" 0-4-0T - stock code 12172

A part-built 5 inch gauge "Chub" 0-4-0T, comprising a commercially-built CE-marked boiler by Steam Technology, supplied new in 2022 and complete with manufacturer's certification, along with a chassis of pedestrian quality in execrable condition.

Complete with profiled brass for cab and tanks, some of which has been soldered together.

Value of this one is in the boiler - the remainder we'd consider a "strip apart and salvage what you can" job!
