5 inch gauge Rebuilt Royal Scot 6103 "Royal Scots Fusilier"

A finely made 5 inch gauge Rebuilt Royal Scot, built as a full three cylinder locomotive, as per the prototype. It's been on display for many years, the previous owner never steamed it - it's finally come to us in part exchange for a good 7 1/4 inch gauge Hunslet, which proved rather more convenient for him to drive.

Standard of workmanship is very good throughout, fit and finish of the motionwork and valve gear is excellent, with nice detailing including castellated nuts, taper pins and turned lubricators throughout the running gear. The engine runs well in both directions on air.

Boiler had had a twice working pressure hydraulic shell test for thirty minutes - whilst structurally sound, there is a small bead forming at the dome flange which will require repair.
