3 1/2 inch gauge "Caribou" 0-8-0 - stock code 10233

A large quantity of parts, machined and unmachined castings and silver soldered copper boiler for a 3 1/2 inch gauge Canadian switcher to Martin Evans' "Caribou" design.

Work to date is to a good standard, machined parts include cylinder, wheelsets and saddle; the boiler is nicely made, with neatly flanged plates and good solder penetration.

A distinctive - and to our eyes good-looking - design, we sold one last year, pictures in the archive here.

Complete with a copy of the construction manual, copies of "Model Engineer" magazine and quantity of drawings.
