3 inch scale Suffolk dredging tractor

A particularly well built 3 inch scale Suffolk Dredging Tractor, the work of an award-winning model engineer, equally at home building locomotives, boats and cars as well as road steam vehicles.

The John Haining design produces a powerful, easy to drive engine - we've had several over the years, all have impressed with how well they steam and run. This one is fitted with rubber tyres which, whilst not prototypical, make for a very much nicer ride!

The welded steel boiler has had an off-the-chassis hydraulic test in recent days with all cladding removed - it's in excellent condition.

The engine runs very well in both directions, there's some video of Ashley running around the yard on it here.

Complete with wooden storage crate on wheels.
