A 3 1/2 inch gauge "Rob Roy" 0-6-0T, a well made locomotive, the work of an accomplished model engineer now in his tenth decade. An impending house move means downsizing the workshop and locomotive collection, otherwise I'm sure he'd still be building long after we're all retired!

Unsteamed from new, the engine has a commercially built, CE-marked copper boiler by G.B.Boiler Services complete with manufacturer's documentation.

The chassis is well made, with a good standard of machining, fit and finish. Whilst the engine runs on air - better forwards than in reverse - it needs final setting of valves and eccentrics.

Platework is particularly nicely done, neatly formed and soldered together.
