Set "Mountaineer" castings with boiler kit - stock code 3460

Nearly everything you need to build Don Young's design for the Ffestiniog Railway's Alco 2-6-2 "Mountaineer" - a set of castings, flanged boiler kit, rolled & soldered brass smokebox, works plates, drawings and all copies of "Model Engineer" containing the construction series. Based on a two foot gauge prototype, the model is built to nearly 2 inch scale, coming out bigger than many 5 inch gauge engines at almost 40 inches long.

This was bought as a complete "kit of bits" from Reeves and is untouched, the drawings are in new condition.

gauge 3 1/2 inch
