3 1/2 inch gauge "Sweet Violet" 0-4-0ST machined cylinders & wheels - stock code 9022

A pair of machined cylinder assemblies, including valve chests; rods; glands; slide bars and crossheads for a 3 1/2 inch gauge "Sweet Violet", the scaled down version of Jack Buckler's immensely popular 5 inch gauge "Sweet Pea" design.

The machined ddriving wheels have come in the same box and were believed destined for the locomotive, although we have't seen spoked wheels fitted to a Sweet Violet before (which means I'll now get a hundred emails with pictures of proud owners posing with their spoke-wheeled engines).
