3 1/2 inch gauge Mersey Railway 2-6-2T - stock code 10031

A well-advanced 3 1/2 inch gauge Mersey Railway condensing 2-6-2T, the work of a prolific engineer whose work has featured frequently on these pages in the past - among many other engines, he also built the narrow gauge Dubs we currently have in stock.

Ever a man to tackle an unusual or rarely-modelled prototype, this one is no exception - we've never seen another example of this attractive Victorian design in any gauge. Work to date includes a largely complete chassis with motionwork and valve gear, some platework and a silver soldered copper boiler.
