3 1/2 inch gauge "Pamela" 4-6-2

A 3 1/2 inch gauge Pacific to LBSC's "Pamela" design - not one that we see very often, we've had two or three running examples in over the last twenty years.

An older engine, this one was well-built in the first place and has done its share of running since - there is some wear in the motionwork and valve gear now which would benefit from rebushing over next winter.

The boiler has had a twice working pressure hydraulic test and appears sound and leak free - we would warranty it as such.

The chassis turns over freely and runs on air in either direction.

A handsome engine, it could be run with minor recommissioning work, whilst at the same time providing ample scope as a longer term improver.
