2 inch scale "Pride of Penrhyn" - stock code 4149

A largely-assembled "Pride of Penrhyn" steam wagon, complete with the original assembly instructions and what appears to be all parts to finish. It's new and unsteamed, typical of an engine assembled by a less than experienced hand, the whole plot is stiff to turn over - the upper works need dismantling and putting back together carefully, checking fit and alignment at each stage.

I've lost count of the number of these I've had over the years - the original design by John Clarke was sound, and the kit-built models can, with some work, be made into sound-running little engines - there is a good one in the archive along with a clip of it running.
