32mm/45mm gauge DJB coal-fired "Robert" 0-4-0T - stock code 13080

A 32mm/45mm gauge "Robert" 0-4-0T by DJB Engineering.

Built on the Roundhouse "Carrie" chassis, itself unusual for being fitted with Hackworth valve gear instead of their usual simplified Walschaert's gear.

A nicely made thing - we particularly like the "greebling" with coal buckets, firing iron hooks and spare lamps on top of the tanks.

Workshop notes for this one read "makes steam like it's going out of fashion" - a very sprightly locomotive, we were most impressed with it. We've fitted a new safety valve and issued new hydraulic and steam certificates.

Includes free UK shipping.
