3 1/2 inch gauge "Britannia"

A well-built 3 1/2 inch gauge "Britannia" to the popular LBSC design - this one came in as part of a larger collection from a man moving up to 7 1/4 inch gauge, currently constructing a large layout in several areas of attractive woodland.
 

 

The locomotive has been infrequently used over the last few years, it runs well, the combustion chamber boiler steams very freely.
