Gauge 1 LSWR M7 0-4-4T - stock code 12421

A gauge 1 LSWR M7 0-4-4T by Bowande, in excellent, apparently unused condition.

This one has come to use from a long time customer along with several other gauge 1 locomotives in part exchange for a large 5 inch gauge heavy freight engine. Quite a jump in size, we more often see people trading down to smaller models!

We've steamed the engine - it runs well in either direction. Lighting up was slightly fiddly - the owners' handbook states that "mastery will be achieved in time", but the gas-fired ceramic burner, once lit, made for a free-steaming boiler.

Includes free UK shipping.
