7 1/4 inch gauge "General Gordon" 0-6-0T - stock code 9430

We supplied this engine new in 2021, it's recently come back to us from a long time customer in part exchange for a 5 inch standard gauge locomotive.

Steamed four times ever, it remains in as-new condition. Pictures opposite and words below are from 2021, the engine is offered with 12 months warranty, handbook and a starter kit of coal, oil and water treatment.

If required we would be more than happy to include half a day's training at our works on the firing, driving and disposal of the engine for a new owner.

A brand new "General Gordon", built recently as one of a batch of five locomotives of this type.

With the other four engines now on their way to new owners, we'd kept this one back for photography to update our product listing - that done, it's now available for immediate delivery.
