32/45mm narrow gauge Regner "Victoria" 0-4-0

A 32mm/45mm gauge-adjustable Regner "Victoria" 0-4-0 tram locomotive.

The engine is fitted with a pair of vertical oscillating cylinders driving the rear axle through reduction gearing. It's an effective arrangement and the locomotive runs very smoothly.

The engine steams freely, although the safety valve failed to lift at its working pressure of 40psi. As this is the original Regner fitting, we've left it unmodified rather than replace it.

We've been impressed by the Regner models we've had through the works, including a "Lumber Jack" and a "Konrad" in recent times. The "Victoria" is no exception – it's a particularly substantial engine, noticeably heavier than the other models in the range.

Complete with original box.
