7 1/4 inch gauge "Locomotion" boiler and parts

An early stage 7 1/4 inch gauge "Locomotion No.1", comprising:

  • Commercially-built silver soldered copper boiler by Swindon Boilers
  • Part-machined gunmetal cylinders
  • Wheel castings
  • Backhead/smokebox castings
  • Wooden tender chassis and wheel castings
No paperwork with the boiler, although we have maker's serial number, date and test pressure marked on the shell.

More than happy both to warranty both it's provenance (we've seen enough of Mr Tremblen's boilers to know his work) and ability to pass a hydraulic test.
 

For those needing inspiration to crack on with the project, there are pictures of a particularly good "Locomotion" we sold some years ago in the archive - if you could match the standard of that one, it would be a job well done.
