We supplied this engine new in 2021, it's recently come back to us from a long time customer in part exchange for a 5 inch standard gauge locomotive.
Steamed four times ever, it remains in as-new condition. Pictures opposite and words below are from 2021, the engine is offered with 12 months warranty, handbook and a starter kit of coal, oil and water treatment.
If required we would be more than happy to include half a day's training at our works on the firing, driving and disposal of the engine for a new owner.
