Sold January 2023 Back to Archive

We last sold this one in 2020, it had come to us as part of a collection of locomotives from a highly experienced model engineer, along with the Britannia "Western Star", LNER A4 "Sir Nigel Gresley" and a GWR Pannier tank in the same gauge - at the time the man had just completed a 4 inch scale Burrell agricultural engine, having already built a magnificent Showmans engine in the same scale.

It's recently come back in much the same condition as the last time it was here - pictures opposite were taken earlier in the week, there is a full writeup from the last it was with us in the archive here.

Presented in lined LNER green livery, done to a high standard the paintwork remains in good condition, with minor blemishes expected from normal running and maintenance.

The boiler has had recent hydraulic and steam tests with new certification issued; the engine remains in excellent condition, steaming freely and running very well - there's some video of it on our YouTube channel here.

Offered with a starter kit of coal, oil and firing irons - we would be more than happy to include half a day in the workshop to go through firing, running and maintenance of the engine with a new owner if required.
