3 1/2 inch gauge "Pamela" 4-6-2

A 3 1/2 inch gauge freelance Pacific to LBSC's "Pamela" design, an older engine in need of restoration.

Luridly painted, it doesn't run on air - the main steam pipes are currently disconnected - and the boiler requires several stays calking, along with investigation of a leak on the outer wrapper near the foundation ring.

We've no idea how many Pamelas have been built over the years, but they're a rare visitor to the workshop these days.

We've had a handful over the last twenty years, although what the design lacks in quantity of engines built it more than makes up for in quality - this engine,which we sold in 2020 and this one, sold way back in 2012 remain some of the best running locomotives we've had in this gauge.
