Gauge 1 LNER J6 4-4-0 - stock code 11740

A gauge 1 LNER J6 0-6-0, an older engine with boiler paperwork dating back some thirty years (and it still hasn't had a coat of paint!).

Scratch-built around a single cylinder, slip-eccentric chassis - we suspect of "Project" origin, the engine rolls freely, turns over and attempts to run on air although doesn't make a full turn of the wheels. First job would be to strip, clean and lubricate the cylinder and valve, as well as checking the eccentric setting.

Includes free UK shipping.
