7 1/4 inch narrow gauge 0-4-0ST with driving truck

A particularly well-built 7 1/4 inch narrow gauge 0-4-0ST - you have to look quite closely to see its origins as a doubled up version of LBSC's "Tich"!

This one has come to us from a private railway along with a large collection of locomotives and rolling stock. Stored in a heated garage, it's been unused in some years following its owner's move into larger locomotives, including a Lynton & Barnstaple "Yeo", Waldenburg 0-6-0 and Bagnall 0-4-0ST.

The engine steams freely, requiring no blower on the rolling road; it runs very well - there's some video of it here. - the loudest thing when ticking over is the clicking of the lubricator ratchet

The four wheeled driving truck is fitted with a hand brake and footboards; there's a coal compartment in front of the driver and water tank under the seat piped forwards to the engine - the injector can take water from either the saddle tank or tender. There is a bicycle type speedometer fitted with magnet attached to one of the wheelsets - it needs a new battery.

A thoroughly well-sorted outfit, its compact size allows for easy handling and transport in a modest sized hatchback.
