A 3 inch scale Atkinson steam wagon, an engine we've sold a couple of times in the past, most recently in 2019 - there's a listing of it from that time in the archive.

It first came to us as a newly-finished though non-running engine in 2007, then passed through a couple of new owners in quick succession until it finally caught the eye of one of our long-time customers - a highly experienced engineer - who stripped the thing and reassembled it, producing a thoroughly well-sorted wagon, one of the nicest examples we've ever had.

Since it arrived back the boiler has had hydraulic and steam tests with new certification issued. Photographs opposite and video below were taken last week - it still runs beautifully, a thoroughly nice machine to drive.
