3 1/2 inch gauge GNR Atlantic

We sold this one back in 2017 - there are pictures and a writeup of it in the archive here - it's recently come back in much the same condition as the last time we had it. Photographs opposite were taken in recent days.

One of the nicest 3 1/2 inch gauge Atlantics we've ever had, based on LBSC's popular "Maisie" design although with modifications and added detailing for greater fidelity to the prototype. Finely made and painted, the engine remains in good condition throughout, the lined Darlington livery presenting very well.

The boiler has had recent hydraulic and steam tests with new certification issued, we've fitted a new injector, the axle and hand pumps work efficiently.

The engine steams freely and runs particularly well in either direction. Disposing of it at the end of the day is made easier by a removable footplate which releases the grate to drop down for ashing out - a nice detail.
