3 inch scale Foden J-type wagon

A 3 inch scale Foden J-type stean wagon, built to a high standard and complete with a well-made silver soldered copper boiler with club certification for its initial twice working pressure shell test.

The work of a retired engineer, the man was something of a steam wagon aficianado - in addition to the J-type he had just started another Foden, with a 3 inch scale Clayton undertype nearing completion on the bench.

The rolling chassis is well-advanced, with vulcanized rubber tyres, Ackerman steering gear and a beautifully made brass water tank fitted.

The cylinder block has been fully machined and assembled with covers and trunk guides, crankshaft is part machined.
