HEAVY ITEM UK and EUROPE only. This is built to the design by Martin Evans and comes with a copy of his book and a set of full size detail drawings. A copy of the articles and drawings he did for the Model Engineer. The locomotive is approx. 21 inches long and has a boiler diameter of. 3.125 inches, the cylinder bores are 15/16 inch diameter and the driving wheels are 0.75 inch diameter. The Locomotive looks to be very well engineered and was made by a competent model engineer. It was ran under steam and then stored for many years due to ill health. This engine does not now have a current boiler certificate and the lapsed one sadly cannot be found. However the Locomotive is complete and turns over smoothly both in forward and reverse gears. All the fittings work and operate nothing is seized or not working. The Locomotive is fully sprung and has sprung buffers to front and rear. There is an enclosed back to the cab with two circular windows, which slides off vertically to allow access to the backhead and at the rear of the cab is a well-made separate lift out coal bunker. The backhead itself has a well-designed water level gauge with drain down valve, a double handled regulator, a blow down valve and a steam turret fitted with U tube to pressure gauge and pipework to long whistle fitted under the chassis. Also in the cab is a useful large water level gauge for the water tanks and the notch type forward and reverse lever. There are two access holes to the water tanks with hinged covers and another access with lever extension to the hand operated water pump. In addition to this pump is an eccentrically driven mechanical water pump. Fitted to the front of the locomotive is a mechanically driven ratchet and pawl type cylinder Lubricator. The boiler has fitted two separate safety valves and a dummy whistle, the smoke box door opens to reveal the blast pipe and fully tubed boiler built to the drawings. The Locomotive is coal fired and there is a cast iron grate with sheet metal ash pan, both in good condition and held by a single pin to allow quick release. This is a well-made Locomotive ready for some basic maintenance and full boiler hydraulic test before further safe steam use. Its appearance could be easily improved with a set of CR Caledonian transfer and cab number plus a lining kit all available form Model Engineering suppliers.
