7 1/4 inch gauge Class 25 petrol-hydraulic

A large, sit-in petrol hydraulic locomotive, based on a Class 25 - unused for some years, it's come to us direct from the builder.

A large locomotive, with the roof panel removed there's ample room in the cockpit for even a 6' 5" driver.

Body is largely in wood, well made and nicely detailed. Chassis comprises a pair of heavy duty commercially built bogies by Pfeiferbahn, the front one supporting a Honda 5.0hp GX140 pull-start four stroke engine driving the ubiquitous Eaton hydrostatic transmission.

Engine has had an oil change this week, it starts easily and runs well - there's some video here of the locomotive running up and down outside our works in the sunshine yesterday.

Complete with a fitted canvas tarpaulin.
