6 1/2 inch gauge freelance 0-4-0

A "barn find" 0-4-0 of odd - 6 1/2 inch - gauge. This one came in recently as part of a large collection of locomotives, traction engines and steam wagons from the family of the late owner.

The welded steel boiler appears well made, although we have no documentation for it.

The chassis is complete with cylinders, motionwork and valve gear. With new axles and stretchers, it could possibly be converted to 7 1/4 inch gauge.
