4 1/2 inch scale Foden

A 4 1/2 inch scale Foden steam wagon in short wheelbase form - the best looking variant in our opinion - built from a Steam Traction World Kit.

A one-owner engine, since arriving with us it's been re-tubed and serviced, with new graphite-filled PTFE regulator, pair of pop-type safety valves, fusible plug, high pressure injector and new pressure gauge fitted.

Following its re-tube, the boiler has had hydraulic and steam tests, with new certification issued.

On test it proved to be free-steaming and ran exceptionally well, its speed in high gear remarkable - "I'd give you good odds for robbing a bank on it" according to the workshop notes*.

Fitted with a Windermere kettle, providing the fastest cup of tea you'll ever make (and likely to be in constant demand from your neighbours on the rally field!)

Road-registered with V5, the wagon is in good condition throughout, offered with 12 months warranty, set of firing irons and a starter kit of coal and oil.

We would be more than happy to give half a day's instruction on the steaming, running and disposal of the engine to a new owner if required.
