A well-built example of Don Young's 7 1/4 inch gauge "Marie Estelle", in good condition and complete with storage stand, drawings, tools and an electric steam-raising blower.

Nicely detailed, the flamboyant paintwork is in good condition, the wooden cab well-executed and varnished.

An easy size to handle, its storage stand features a hinged loading ramp which makes getting the engine and tender in and out of a car an easy single man operation.

A thoroughly well-sorted engine, it runs particularly well, notching up in either direction - there's some video of it here.
