5 inch gauge LMS 4F 0-6-0 - stock code 8535

A 5 inch gauge LMS 4F, supplied new by Maxitrak in 2011 as a ready to run engine.

A one-owner engine, it's come to us from a long time customer with a small private railway - built to entertain his grand children, they have now grown, whilst his knees have increasing trouble with ground level running!

The engine steams freely and runs well, notching up in either direction - there's a clip of it on the rolling road here.
