7 1/4 inch gauge "Tich" 0-4-0T

A barn find 7 1/4 inch 0-4-0T, based on LBSC's "Tich" design doubled up.

Immensely grubby and with a liberal coating of surface rust, the engine was nevertheless well made originally. Chassis was well-oiled before storage and has been well-preserved, the engine rolls freely and runs on air.

Particularly taken with the dome on this one - beautifully spun from brass in two pieces and soldered together, as per full-size practice, it will polish up beautifully.
