32/45mm narrow gauge Roundhouse "Vale of Rheidol"

A 32mm gauge Roundhouse Vale of Rheidol 2-6-2T, fitted with radio control.

Since arriving the engine has had a new 2.4GHz receiver fitted, with matching Radiolink transmitter and a new 2300mAh battery pack with charger.

Prior to steam test, the boiler was descaled, the water gauge cleaned and fitted with new seals.

Paintwork is presentable, with some minor chipping and worn edges.

Currently set to 32mm gauge, the driving wheelsets are convertible to 45mm simply by sliding the wheels along their axles after undoing a grubscrew. The leading and trailing pony trucks are not convertible although making new axles wouldn't be a difficult job.

Includes free UK shipping.
