7 1/4 inch narrow gauge Bagnall 0-4-0ST "Cuckmere" - stock code 12785

A 7 1/4 inch narrow gauge Bagnall 0-4-0ST to the MJ Engineering design. We sold this one back in 2008 as a well-advanced part-built engine.

The new owner had the engine professionally finished and painted to a high standard, since when it remained in his possession, only occasionally used in recent years.

The boiler has had hydraulic and steam tests with new certification issued. The engine is in good condition throughout - it steams freely and runs very well, the paintwork remains in excellent condition.

The locomotive is fitted with steam brakes, with vacuum braking for the train.

Supplied with handbook, 12 months warranty, firing irons and starter kit of coal and oil.

If required we would be more than happy to include training at our works on the firing, driving and disposal of the engine for a new owner.
