A well-made early-stage Stanier 2-6-4 tank to Martin Evans’ “Jubilee” design. Work to date comprises a chassis with wheels, cylinders and brakes machined and fitted, rear bogie and front pony truck complete and a set of nicely machined coupling and connecting rods, with some light surface rusting. There are a pair of complete motion brackets and one radius rod.

A good start which will make a handsome engine – if you want to see what the finished article will look like, I’ve just sold a particularly good example which some of you may have seen at the Midlands Show last month.
