3 1/2 inch gauge "County Carlow" 4-4-0

A well-built 3 1/2 inch gauge Great Western "County" 4-4-0, for many years kept on display in the owner's house alongside a Southern Railway "King Arthur".

The engine has come to us as part of a large collection of locomotives, including the magnificent 7 1/4 inch gauge Standard Class 2, 4 inch scale Burrell DCC road locomotive and Lynton & Barnstaple "Yeo" that we've sold recently.

A well made, finely painted locomotive; it runs on air in either direction and a hydraulic test showed no signs of leak from any visible part of the boiler and firebox. There is, however, a leak from under the cladding around the outer wrapper, which will need the boiler lifting from the chassis and cladding removed for further investigation.
