32mm/45mm Accucraft "Superior" 0-6-2T

A 32mm/45mm gauge-adjustible Accucraft "Superior" 0-6-2T.

The engine steams well and runs in both directions, it's got a particularly efficacious safety valve.

There's some minor cosmetic damage to each tank side, we suspect it's previously carried glued-on nameplates.

Fitted with rudimentary radio control, the terminals on the rechargeable battery pack are corroded which precluded charging or testing. There's a single servo fitted to the reverser with the regulator left as a manual control, rather than the more common dual servo regulator/reverser setup.

Now discontinued, there remains a good technical write-up and some more history on the full-size locomotive .on the Accucraft website here.
