A large, 7 1/4 inch gauge 0-4-2ST with tender "Elikapika", built by Bob
Smith for his legendary Comrie Railroad. We sold this one back in 2016
when the railway was dismantled, along with his
C19 and
Bo-Bo diesel.
It's
recently come back in as part of a large collection of engines, sold to
fund a historic 15 inch gauge locomotive which is now under
restoration.
Pictures opposite are from 2016 - it's in similar condition now, if somewhat grubbier.
