5 inch gauge GWR "Bulldog" 4-4-0

A 5 inch gauge "Barn find Bulldog", a Great Western 4-4-0 to Keith Wilson's design, serialised in "Model Engineer" magazine 1978-9.

In somewhat distressed condition, the engine is missing one splasher and some minor bits of tinwork, driving wheels are loose on axles. Paintwork presents opportunites for improvement...

On the plus side: boiler has been hydraulic tested and certification issued for same - we would warranty as sound - and the chassis runs well on air on both directions.
