3 1/2 inch gauge "Rob Roy" 0-6-0T - stock code 8768

A well made 3 1/2 inch gauge "Rob Roy" which came in recently as part exchange against a 7 1/4 inch gauge Hunslet.

The previous owner kept it for display in the house, it hasn't been steamed whilst in his ownership.

Boiler has had a twice working pressure hydraulic test, with certification for same.

Chassis runs well on air, notching up in both directions.

It will, no doubt, require some work to recommission for steam - the usual servicing pumps and fittings - but appears otherwise in good condition.

Complete with a custom built carrying crate.
