Recently arrived as a project complete with boiler, somebody has recently bought the boiler, along with smokebox door with ring, inner and outer dome castings.

What remains is the chassis shown here, complete with castings for valve chests and cylinder end covers, and drawings.

A finely built chassis for an Adams B4 0-4-0, the work of a professional model maker, complete with commercially built silver soldered copper boiler.
