Dismantled 5 inch gauge Rail Motor with new boiler

An elderly 5 inch gauge "Rail Motor" to the Don Young design, complete with a similarly elderly boiler with fittings - the failure of which we assume to be the reason for the strip down - along with a very nicely made replacement, completed in 1979 but unused and in excellent condition.

Complete with copies of the original construction series in "Model Engineer".
