5 inch gauge "Torquay Manor" - stock code 10764

A large quantity of parts, material and castings for a 5 inch gauge GWR 4-6-0 to Martin Evans' "Torquay Manor" design, including erected tender frames and much of a finely made brass body for same.

Serialised in "Model Engineer" magazine from 1972 until 1974 (with a brief break mid-series when the designer got married), drawings and castings for this popular design are available from both Reeves and Blackgates Engineering

If you need some inspiration (or simply lack the time to build one of these most handsome of locomotives), there are pictures in the archive of a super one which we sold last year.
