3 1/2 inch gauge Southern gear 0-6-0T - stock code 4064

An interesting old tank engine, made many years ago and, although of freelance design, done up to look like a Great Western pannier tank there's something a bit 1366-ish about it.

Underneath is a well-engineered locomotive featuring Southern valve gear, an LBSC-type resonator whistle and a large capacity, ingeniously installed handpump worked through a cranked linkage with the handle fitted just below footplate level on the offside of the cab.

Feed is by axle pump and injector with handpump mounted between the frames at the rear.
gauge 3 1/2 inch
