3 inch scale Aveling & Porter steam wagon - stock code 13063

A Maxitrak 3 inch scale Aveling & Porter steam wagon, part of a hoard we've recently unearthed from the house and grounds of their late owner.

Remarkably the engine is unsteamed from new - built from a kit but never run, it really needs stripping completely, cleaning, repainting and reassembling.

The boiler has had a twice working pressure hydraulic test with new certification issued, we would warranty it as sound.

The chassis appears twisted and rear axle sits at a jaunty angle - the chassis a simple steel affair, we suspect easy to tweak once dismantled.

The engine turns over but requires the eccentrics setting to run.
