11083
Unused since, it's recently arrived back with us, along with several other gauge 1 locomotives. Photographs opposite were taken in recent days, words below are from last time it was here.
A gauge 1 Aster GWR King, it recently arrived with us along with several other gauge 1 engines as the owner traded up (several) size(s) to 7 1/4 inch gauge.
The original pressure gauge developed a fault and has been replaced with a slightly larger gauge reading in psi rather than bar.
Complete with original manufacturer's documentation, some tools and a basic wooden carrying crate.
