7 1/4 inch gauge part-built 2-4-0

An interesting 7 1/4 inch gauge 2-4-0, with something of a colonial appearance.

Work to date is to a good standard and comprises a chassis completed up to what appears air-running stage, a smokebox assembly, and professionally built silver soldered copper boiler by Kingswood.

The project appears to have languished for some years - and we don't know what the builder had in mind by way of a tender. Currently seized, it needs stripping, cleaning and reassembly before continuing.

There is the potential here to produce a handsome looking locomotive. With the majority of the hard work - and expenditure - now accounted for, it could be completed with modest workshop facilities.
