We originally sold this one back in 2008, it's recently come back as part of a collection of 3 1/2 and 5 inch gauge locomotives. Other than the tender being assembled with new bodywork and primed, condition is largely unchanged since last time it was here.
Not a job for a beginner, however we've had a couple of these through our hands assembled by capable engineers that have run well - most recently this one, which we sold in 2019.
