3 1/2 inch gauge OS BR Standard Class 7 "Britannia"

A 3 1/2 inch gauge OS "Britannia", assembled from a kit and largely complete, although with lining to the running boards yet to be applied. We suspect it's has little, if any use from new.

The engine doesn't currently run on air, with nothing coming through to the cylinders when the regulator is opened - first thing to check would be the regulator itself. The steam pump, in contrast, works beautifully!

When turning over, the offside crosshead pin fouls the back of the combination lever.

Paintwork is mainly in excellent condition, with two minor scratches as shown on the tender.

Gas-fired, the tender has a compartment to accommodate the gas cylinder, with pipework to the firebox.

Complete with manufacturer's documentation including assembly instructions.
