7 1/4 inch gauge Feldbahn 0-4-0 "Lady Susan" - stock code 9645

7 1/4 inch gauge Feldbahn 0-4-0T "Lady Susan", works number 1339 delivered new in January 2014.

A highly specced factory-built engine, options included:

  • Brass spectacles
  • Brass dummy safety valves
  • Gauge glass protector
  • 6 inch four note chime whistle
  • Non-standard colour (RAL 3005), hand lined to tanks and cab
  • Vacuum brake equipment
  • Braked four wheel "Ride on Railways" driving truck, painted to match locomotive

Steam valves were fitted with cast brass handwheels after delivery.

The engine has only been steamed twice in the last two years - since arriving back with us recently it has been serviced and tested, with new boiler certification issued after a cladding off inspection.

We've fitted the latest specification snifting valves and a valve chest pressure gauge - an option ordered with pretty much every engine we build these days.

Overall the engine is in excellent condition. Paintwork is bright, with some minor paint loss on the top boiler cladding sheet near the spectacle plate. Paintwork on the driving truck is worn on the top edges, but overall presentable.

Valve gear and motionwork are in good order, the engine runs very quietly, notching up in either direction - there's some video here of it running outside the works at the end of the day with just about 40psi on the gauge.

Supplied with handbook, starter kit, firing irons and 12 months warranty - exactly the same as you'd get with a new Feldbahn.
