3 1/2 inch gauge large-boilered "Tich" 0-4-0T - stock code 10946

A 3 1/2 inch gauge "Tich" in large-boiler, slip-eccentric form.

The chassis runs well on air in both directions. The silver soldered boiler has had a twice working pressure hydraulic test with no evidence of leaks or distortion - we would warranty as sound.

Fit and finish of motion and platework is good throughout, though something's gone awry when it came to the dome; in good cosmetic order, the paintwork a plain but attractive dark green.
