A well-advanced 3 1/2 inch gauge Ivatt Class 2 tank locomotive, the work of long-time customer of ours, an experienced model engineer and boiler maker.

Work to date comprises a largely complete chassis with motion work, requiring some valve gear to complete including return cranks, eccentric and radius rods; silver soldered copper boiler; smokebox assembly complete with door, chimney and saddle and much of the platework, including cab, tanks and bunker.

Boiler has had a twice working pressure shell test with certification issued for same.

Rarely seen in this gauge (or, indeed, in any gauge - the 2-6-0 tender version being more commonly modelled) - not sure why, it's a particularly handsome design.
