3 1/2 inch gauge large-boilered "Tich" 0-4-0T - stock code 12698

A 3 1/2 inch gauge large-boiler, Walschaert's gear "Tich" 0-4-0T.

The boiler has had a twice working pressure hydraulic test with new certification issued - silver soldered, with some calking it proved remarkably watertight on test.

The chassis rolls freely and ran well on air with crisp, even exhaust beats.

There are a variety of jobs required to recommission this one for steaming, including fitting new cylinder end cover gaskets and servicing regulator and blower valve, both of which leak.

Includes free UK shipping.
