Gauge 1 Aster GWR "King" 4-6-0 - stock code 9598

A gauge 1 Aster GWR King, it recently arrived with us along with several other gauge 1 engines as the owner traded up (several) size(s) to 7 1/4 inch gauge.

The original pressure gauge developed a fault and has been replaced with a slightly larger gauge reading in psi rather than bar.

Complete with original manufacturer's documentation, some tools and a basic wooden carrying crate.
