A part-built tank engine to LBSC’s design for an LMS three-cylinder 2-6-4T published in “English Mechanics” in 1936 – it has been built by a talented and prolific engineer with many engines and several dozen boilers to his credit (including the part-built “Molly”, “Firefly” and GWR 42xx currently in stock).

Work to date is to a good standard and comprises a rolling chassis with gunmetal cylinders machined and fitted, lubricator beneath footplate and much platework including cab, tanks and bunker.

There is a silver-soldered copper boiler, again built to a good standard.
Complete with copies of the original construction articles, a GA drawing and some builder’s notes.
Length 26 inches
