5 inch gauge "Simplex" 0-6-0T - stock code 11372

A well-advanced 5 inch gauge "Simplex" 0-6-0T to Martin Evans' popular design.

The largely complete chassis - missing only the axle pump as far as we can see - rolls freely, the silver soldered copper boiler is well made and complete with club certification for the initial shell test.

There is a box of loose components including much of the platework for cab, tanks and running boards, boiler cladding, fountain and a quantity of small parts and fittings.
