A 7 1/4 inch gauge 0-6-0T to Martin Evans' "Holmside" design, based on a National Coal Board prototype.

Work to date comprises a chassis complete with motionwork, valve gear and reverser. Free to turn over it requires valves and return cranks setting, currently running on air in forwards gear, not in reverse.

There is a box of loose parts including buffers, brake gear including shoes, hangers and stand, exhaust tee assembly, fountain and sundry small fittings.

A popular design for club use, powerful and with good adhesive weight - we've had several over the years although the example built by the supremely talented Keith Massie remains the Holmside by which all others are measured.

Parts, castings and drawings are available from Reeves, Model Engineers Laser offer their usual comprehensive range of high quality profiled platework facilitating a fast build.
