Sold April 2011 Back to Archive

A Clayton steam wagon in 3 inch scale - I've only ever had one 3 inch version before, it was probably the best-running version of Robin Dyer's popular design I've driven, there's some pictures of that rather eye-poppingly yellow one in the archive here.

This is a nicely-made wagon which has languished unused for some considerable time - as a result the engine has seized up solid, pistons would be my first guess. The copper boiler is in sound order and has had a recent twice pressure hydraulic test, the rest of the machine in presentable condition - with a bit of midnight oil burning (or what we nowadays call regular hours), this would be an realistic proposition for rallying this season.
