5 inch gauge Stirling Single frame, boiler, castings

A quantity of parts and castings for a 5 inch gauge Stirling Single - another project from our expedition across the Channel a while back.

French barns appear no drier than their English counterparts, there's a liberal coating of light surface rust over much of the iron and steel.

Can't believe there's a soul living who doesn't know what one of these looks like - No.1 is in the National Railway Museum if you want to check out the fullsize original, otherwise there are pictures of several in the archive, including one we sold back in 2018 here.

If the idea of a few years in the workshop seems daunting, for those wanting something to run this season we also have a complete running example recently arrived which will be listed shortly.
