5 inch gauge ''Tich'' 0-4-0T - stock code 11444

A 5 inch gauge "Tich", scaled up from LBSC's popular 3 1/2 inch gauge design - Kennions supply drawings and castings for the engine in this gauge.

Work to date comprises a well-advanced chassis - the brightwork mottled with surface rust which would clean up easily - looking to need only union links, eccentric rods and return cranks to complete the valve gear. The axle pump body and eccentric sheave are fitted, requiring strap, rod and ram to complete.

Brake gear is complete, unfitted, including brake stand.

There is a quantity of copper for the boiler, including sheet material and tube.

Complete with dome casting and a quantity of well-thumbed drawings.
