1129 forum posts 1 photos	Hi All, Got this at a flea market over the weekend, its in a bit of a state but judging by the first cylinder I have cleaned up it looks like it will come back from the dead. I have absolutely no idea what this loco is, whether it is scratch built or a known type. The width between the wheel flanges is 3 1/2". The boiler part seems very well made indeed and I was told that the project was started many years ago by the guys father? Any help much appreciated. Cheers, Martin

I would guess that the alternative slide valves designs on a 3.5" gauge set of loco castings are more numerous. Good luck. Rik Edited By Rik Shaw on 10/01/2019 11:14:21
