7 1/4 inch narrow gauge Kerr, Stuart "Wren" 0-4-0ST with driving truck - stock code 11186

A 7 1/4 inch narrow gauge Kerr, Stuart "Wren" 0-4-0ST, an exceptionally well-built locomotive which has come to us as part of a small collection of fine engines, including a 5 inch gauge "Britannia" and LNER A3, along with a 2 inch scale Fowler DCC road locomotive.

Since arriving with us the boiler has had hydraulic and steam tests with new certification issued. The water gauge has had new seals fitted, the connecting rods have been rebushed.

In excellent condition throughout, the paintwork was well applied in the first place and remains in good condition. The engine runs very nicely, free-steaming and responsive to the regulator.

Complete with a slate wagon style driving truck.
