3 1/2 inch gauge 0-4-0 "George" - stock code 7241

An early stage 0-4-0 tank locomotive to Don Young's quaint "George" design, his tribute to the Ffestiniog Railway's 150th anniversary and based on the England engines as originally delivered (by railway from George England's works in London, then horse and cart to Boston Lodge Works).

Work to date comprises a nicely machined and assembled rolling chassis, complete with pumps, eccentric straps and sheaves, gunmetal cylinders bored with machined valve chests and covers, fabricated motion brackets and some machined motionwork, along with tender wheels.
