7 1/4 inch gauge "Marie Estelle" 0-4-0

A 7 1/4 inch gauge "Marie Estelle", Don Young's diminutive American 0-4-0 switcher, more commonly encountered in 5 inch gauge as "Marie E".

This one has come to us as part of a collection we fetched down from Scotland earlier in the year. An older engine, somewhat scruffy with commercially made boiler by Chambers.

Rolls freely and runs on air in either direction, with some air passing valves and/or pistons.
