Sold March 2008 Back to Archive

A decently-made "Terrier" to Martin Evans' "Boxhill" design, comprising a complete chassis with brake gear, injector and pump, along with a box of bits containing a complete smokebox assembly, splashers, spectacles, inner and outer dome, superheaters, handpump, fountain, firehole door, boiler flanging plates and a variety of other O & Ss. Complete with a set of well-used drawings.

This one looks worse than it is - there's a lot of work done already, the chassis runs well on air. Most of it was well oiled-up years ago, which means it looks filthy but is bright underneath. The bits the oil can missed have only acquired surface rust, which cleans easily.

One of the prettiest little Victorian tank engines ever, several survive in preservation. There's a picture of a super one built by a friend in the archive.
