Sold March 2017 Back to Archive

A largely complete set of kits for a Winson 5 inch gauge LMS Jubilee. Bought by a man who was a bit of a kit-build enthusiast - he'd already finished one of their Britannias to a high standard before embarking simultaneously on the Jubilee, a Likamobile steam car and one of their Tiger tanks. Talk about a devil for punishment! Sadly he didn't live to see them to completion, all now are in residence in our stores.

It appears that most of these boxes were opened on delivery, checked, then resealed. Pretty much everything is still sealed in its original bags, with part lists for each kit. The only parts known to be missing are annotated on a sheet, and include:

• LH leading and RH driving wheel

• Outside cylinders

• Crank axle

• Cab

• Kit of finishing parts

Complete with silver soldered copper boiler - still crated from new until we collected earlier in the week, when Connor opened it just to make sure there was something in the box - along with its manufacturer's hydraulic test certificate.

Reeves stock castings for "Leander", including driving wheels and outside cylinder set.
