5 inch gauge Britannia frames & castings

Parts and castings for a 5 inch gauge Britannia, comprising:

  • Erected frames with stretchers
  • Rear pony truck
  • Front bogie wheels, axles and axleboxes
  • Driving & coupled wheels machined & assembled onto axles with axleboxes
  • Part-machined cylinders and liners
  • Locomotive and tender horns in gunmetal
  • Gunmetal chimney

Grubby and with light surface rust, all would clean easily.

There is a copper combustion chamber boiler, TIG-welded with silver soldered tubes and stays.

Of grim aspect and with so much silver solder on it that it needs hall-marking rather than hydraulic testing. We're told that when filled with water it didn't leak, which is a start I suppose...
