5 inch gauge LMS "Duchess of Montrose"

The locomotives were built some years ago and exhibited as a pair at the then Warwick Model Engineering Exhibition on completion. "Duchess of Montrose" was finished in BR green livery - sister engine "Duchess of Sutherland" in LMS crimson lake.

The engine has been test steamed once - on gas - when completed, since then it's been stored in a purpose built crate in the owner's living room. Boiler has yet to see a coal fire, it looks new inside.

The engine turns over freely - we've run it on air; the reverser is stiff to operate, otherwise everything functions as expected. Supplied with twice working pressure shell test certificate, the engine will require some work to commission for steaming - at the very least we would expect to service fittings, check injectors and set the safety valves before use.

Complete with crates for locomotive and tender.
