5 inch gauge ground level driving truck

A 5 inch gauge bogie driving truck, modelled on a five plank wagon, complete with footboards and upholstered seat.

Built for ground level running, it is in good condition, having apparently had little use from new.

The braking system is lightly built with a short operating handle, working on the rear bogie only - it requires a pin for the front clevis, the front bogie requires a nut and washer for the pivot bolt.

There is a detachable sprocket and chain attached to one of the front bogie axles - possibly intended to drive some ancillary.

Complete with copies of a Doug Hewson article from "Engineering in Miniature" magazine, detailing construction of a similar truck.
