45mm gauge Aster SR Merchant Navy 4-6-2 - stock code 13294

A rebuilt Southern Railway "Merchant Navy" Pacific, No.35028 "Clan Line".

Overall in good, used condition, it ran well under steam on our rolling road (for those interested, running at around 65mph scale speed).

There is minor damage to the front buffer beam and steps on the right hand side. On test the safety valves accumulated and will require servicing or replacement.
