A 3 inch scale Burrell to the Plastow design. The engine came in to us from recently from a long-time customer, along with a rather smart
Polly III tank locomotive. It has a CE-marked boiler by Devon Steam Boilers which has seen little use, the engine is smartly turned out with decent paintwork.
It steams freely and runs well - there's
a clip of it running outside the workshop here this morning (where it's bit wet and miserable today!)
