The boiler is by Bishop Richardson - the original certificate has gone missing since it was last here, however we have a clear image of it taken at that time, shown below.
Chassis is stiff to turn over - it needs stripping, freeing off and reassembling.
A well advanced chassis and commercially built boiler for Don Young's "Marie Estelle" American 0-4-0.
Not a complicated locomotive to build, we've had several in over the years - if you need to remind yourself what a finished one looks like, there's some pictures in the archive of one we sold back in 2015 here.
Castings and drawings for the design are still available from Reeves, listed here.
