3 1/2 inch gauge "Netta" 0-8-0

A 3 1/2 inch gauge North Eastern T-class 0-8-0 to LBSC's "Netta" design, famously described in five gauges simultaneously ("O", "1", 2 1/2, 3 1/2 and 5 inch) in the "Model Engineer" construction series which started in 1954.

A well built example of this handsome design, the engine steams freely and runs well. Boiler has had recent hydraulic and steam tests with certification issued for same, feed is by axle and hand pump - from its performance the injector appears to have been a cosmetic afterthought!

Complete with a set of drawings.
