7809
Dismantled for restoration, much work has already been done by way of cleaning and repainting - it now requires reassembly.
A large locomotive for the gauge, Maxitrak use the same parts for the 7 1/4 inch gauge version - both come in at 36 inches long and a hundredweight and a half dry.
We've seen the engine running in the past and tested the boiler back in 2018. It hasn't been steamed since that time - there's a couple of years left on the hydraulic certificate, we will warranty the boiler as sound.
There are pictures of a good "Pearl" we sold back in 2017 in the archive if you need to remind yourself what it looks like when complete.
