5 inch narrow gauge Hunslet 0-4-0T - stock code 12930

A 5 inch narrow gauge Quarry Hunslet 0-4-0ST.

The chassis is grubby, however underneath the muck work appears to be to a good standard and includes wheels, cylinders and some valve gear, including eccentric sheaves, expansion links and valve rods. Finished in primer, the frames need repainting,

The silver soldered copper boiler is beautifully made, with neatly flanged plates and good solder penetration, fitted with dome, safety valves, smokebox header and regulator.

As ever our friends at Model Engineers Laser offer a range of high quality profiled parts for this design, including expansion links, cab and saddle tank components. Drawings and castings are available from Reeves.
