5 inch gauge LNER A3 - stock code 11887

A large quantity of castings - including both spoked and disc tender wheels - for a 5 inch gauge LNER A3 to Don Young's "Doncaster" design, along with laser profiled locomotive and tender frames with stretchers.

An iconic design which makes for a magnificent model. We've had several in over the years, from this one - in original LNER form, finished in Darlington green livery which we sold in 2005 - right through to"Hyperion", finished in late British Railways form with double chimney and smoke deflectors which we sold earlier in the year.

Drawings and castings are available from Reeves, our friends at Model Engineers Laser stock a comprehensive range of high quality profiled parts in steel and brass for this design.
