5 inch gauge LNER O1 frames & castings - stock code 9335

A set of profiled frames for a 5 inch gauge LNER O1 2-8-0, Martin Evans' "Nigel Gresley" design, along with unmachined iron castings for locomotive and tender wheels, cylinders and valve chests, gunmetal castings for chimney, dome, horns and axleboxes.

Not a model we see very often - don't know why, the design produces a powerful, handsome looking engine. We've only ever had a couple in over the years, there are pictures in the archive of them here and here.

Drawings and castings for the locomotive are available from Reeves.
