One of largest locomotives in their range, the Prairie shares the same practical design and robust construction as its siblings.
Work to date has been done to a good standard, the engine is complete with parts to finish, full set of assembly instructions and manufacturer's boiler paperwork.
Paintwork has, with the exception of the boiler cladding (which is a slightly different shade to the rest of hte platework), been professionally sprayed.
