45mm gauge Aster DRG Class 44 2-10-0

A 45mm gauge 3-cylindered DB BR44 by Aster Hobbies.

The engine steams freely and runs well in both directions. On arrival the safety valves were seized - we made and fitted new internals prior to hydraulic and steam testing the engine.

We like this one - at 2 1/2 feet long it's got a lot of presence, the striking black & red DB colour scheme one of our favourites (and it's been a popular livery for our "Feldbahn" design over the last ten years).

Includes free UK shipping.
