Complete the form below to enquire about this product and we'll be in touch.

The design of "General Gordon" was inspired by Kerr, Stuart & Company engines of the early twentieth century, themselves based on a French Decauville design.

Sharing the same well-proven boiler and running gear as its "Stafford" and "Feldbahn" stablemates, the engine offers a powerful, free-steaming club locomotive with a well proven, easy to maintain chassis.

Supplied ready to run, standard specification includes:

  • Vacuum brake equipment - ejector, steam valve, driver's brake valve, vacuum gauge
  • Valve chest pressure gauge
  • Two TIG-welded stainless steel side tanks, combined capacity 25.4 litres/5.6 imp gallons/li>
  • Type 28 whistle and valve
  • Valve chest mounted snifting valves
  • Hand lined finish to cab, tanks and cylinder cladding sheets
  • Polished stainless steel handrails and smokebox door handles
  • Polished & painted nameplates
  • Polished brass spectacles
  • Two pack livery in choice of colours
  • Front and rear three slot couplings
  • Starter kit of oil, water treatment and coal
  • Set of firing irons
  • Stainless steel coupling bar and pin
  • Operating and maintenance handbook
