5 inch gauge 2-6-0 chassis - stock code 9654

A 5 inch gauge 2-6-0 chassis, it appears to be based on Martin Evans' "Simplex" cylinders, motionwork and valve gear, with extended frames, a front pony truck and rather stylish smokebox and chimney.

Work to date is to a decent standard and comprises a rolling chassis with connecting and coupling rods, valve gear is largely complete bar eccentric rods - the expansion links have surface rust, which would clean off easily, and have yet to be erected in the motion frames.
