A well made example of Martin Evans' "Conway" design for a quarry Hunslet. This one is very nearly complete, requiring minor work to finish, including:

• Cab roof and support pillar

• Buffer blocks

• Fixing cab spectacles

• Attention to drain cock linkage

• Painting

The machining and fitting is to a good standard throughout. The copper boiler is silver-soldered and has a current certificate, it is fed by an axle pump and hand pump mounted on the footplate.

An attractive design, being modelled on a narrow-gauge prototype the engine is similar in size to a small 5 inch gauge 0-4-0, with similar performance.

Length 27 inches
Weight approx 70 pounds
