3 1/2 inch gauge LNER Pacific "Highland Chief"

A particularly well-built example of LBSC's "Hielan Lassie" design, based on Gresley's three cylinder Pacific. This one has come to us from a man who probably owns more engines than we do as part exchange against a large 5 inch gauge locomotive.

Built in 1990, the engine is in good mechanical order. We've had it in steam in the workshop here, it goes well with the feel of a well-sorted engine - exactly what we would expect given its previous owner.

Further details under the "details" tab above (unsurprisingly).
