3 1/2 inch gauge "Netta" 0-8-0 - stock code 12511

A well-made 3 1/2 inch gauge NE 0-8-0 to LBSC's pretty "Netta" design, an engine which we last sold in 2021 to a long-time customer, a highly capable model engineer and boilermaker. It's recently come back from him with several other locomotives in part exchange for a 5 inch gauge engine.

Unused in some time, the engine has had a hydraulic test with new certification issued, the chassis runs on air.

The Stroudley type regulator currently leaks copiously, usually they require nothing more than lapping in to seal the port faces.
