7 1/4 inch gauge Phoenix braked driving truck - stock code 12085

A commercially built 7 1/4 inch narrow gauge braked driving truck by Phoenix Locomotives.

Robustly built, with 6mm steel frames and 3mm steel bodywork, it runs on steel wheels with takeup bearing axleboxes - in our experience a virtually indestructible combination.

A previous owner has fitted a wooden storage box which sits in front of the driver, useful for tools or coal.

Fitted - apparently from new - with a steel backrest extension.

There is further information and a full specification for the truck on Phoenix Locomotives' website here.
