7 1/4 inch narrow gauge petrol hydraulic shunter - stock code 12694

A 7 1/4 inch narrow gauge petrol-hydraulic locomotive, allegedly built using the chassis and transmission of one of the Engineers Emporium's ingenious Lister auto trolleys, with an electric start, four stroke Villiers engine, twin horns and enclosed bodywork.

Well conceived and executed, the thing goes like a rocket!

We like the "minimal gauge" vibe, with side-facing seat which looks like it's come out of a 1960s diesel cab and the lovely cast radiator surround.
