7 1/4 inch gauge S&DJR 7F 2-8-0 - stock code 13341

A 7 1/4 inch gauge S&DJR 7F 2-8-0, one of a class of 11 heavy freight engines built between 1914 and 1925.

Work to date comprises a particularly well made chassis - finely detailed and complete up to air running stage - plus a box of smaller loose parts.

The work of an experienced engineer, the man also responsible for the super LMS 4F we currently have in. The chassis alone represents several hundred hours of high quality work, and a not inconsiderable expenditure in castings.

It would give any prospective builder a flying start, with the potential to turn out a fine example of this rarely modelled prototype.
