4” Traction engine. Superb quality.
Freelance with 4” Tasker copper boiler.

A really superb example of model engineering at its very best. The silver soldered copper boiler is built to the drawings of the 4” Tasker traction engine, the remainder of the model is freelance built by a very experienced engineer and club boiler inspector.

I bought it from the man who built it and who had been running it “unpainted”. Therefore it needed, in our workshop, to be completely stripped down, prepared, primed and and several coats of paint-looks absolutely stunning. Now has an updated full boiler certificate.

It had been thoroughly run in running on soft ground with the greatest of ease.

She has an injector, crankshaft pump, handbrake, mechanical cylinder lubricator, stump puller, etc. The wooden tool box on the rear of the footplate serves as the water inlet for the water tank beneath the footplate.

Comes with trailer (4.6 gallon water tank installed), steam raising chimney extension (not shown), fire irons, spark arrester, flue brushes, etc.

Measurements :
Traction engine 55” long, 22” wide, 38” high.
Driving trolley 30” long, 26” wide, 20” high.

Boiler certificate expires : Hydraulic Sept 2023, Steam Nov 2020.

VERY RARE Beyer Garrett, 0-4-0/ 0-4-0,
Baddesley Colliery loco, 5” gauage.

A superb model of the Baddesley Colliery (near Coventry), Beyer Garrett. It worked there for many years, the line fed direct onto the Midland Railway mainline, hence the model is in Midland Railway livery. Photographs of the original locomotive at work can be found online.

Ideal for the club track, bags of power and does not cause the inconvenience of the “too long” Garretts which are too long for the average steaming bay, turntable, loading lift, etc.

She has twin injectors, handpump, steam brake, twin cylinder displacement lubricators, etc. Comes with the Transport/storage track as shown on the photographs.

Measurements : 51” long, 10” wide, 15” high.

5” gauge Sweetpea 0-4-2. NEW BUILD, engineer built.

An excellent example of the very popular 5” gauage Sweetpea and built by an engineer with very many years of model engineering experience.

This one has the added advantage of the rear pony axle which gives more stability over rough tracks.

She has an axle pump, handpump, mechanical cylinder lubricator, handbrake, etc.

Measurements : 33” long, 13” wide, 23” high, considerably larger than a standard gauge in 5” gauge. You definitely get more model for your money with Narrow Gauge locomotives.

LMS Class 2 tender engine, 2-6-0, 5” gauage.

A very good example of the Stanier Class 2 tender locomotive built for duty over low maximum weight bridges built in the 19th century. As a young fireman I worked on these but longed for something more Macho which I discovered later, as a driver, with the allocation of 12 Britannias to our Aston Shed - though these didn’t compare to a Royal Scot in good nick. I never drove the Duchesses, only fired them.

She has an injector, tender hand pump, mechanical cylinder lubricator.

We had her in steam on the rolling road and she performed really well.

Measurements : 56” long, 10” wide, 13” high.

Very rare 5” gauge Eastern Region
Atlantic 4-4-2 tender locomotive.

This is a really well engineered 5” gauge Atlantic, having the “very large” firebox that sits across the frames rather than inside. The motions I give 10/10 for perfect machining - beautiful craftmanship.

She has TWO injectors, axle pump, tender handpump, mechanical cylinder lubricator, handbrake operated on driving wheels, (see righthand lever/rachet) - a model that was designed to be run.

Measurements : 66” long, 10” wide, 16” high.

Stuart Turner 501 boiler with ST 10v.

A “high quality” working steam raising boiler and steam operated ST 10v in sparkling showroom condition.

The model, built by a highly experienced model engineer, has been run on steam using the pair of propane gas burners. These provide a sufficiently high temperature to generate steam for a much larger engine should it be required by the new owner. The hand pump has a large capacity too and would easily maintain the boiler level for the higher steam output.

The model also has a whistle, displacement lubricator, regulator for steam supply, double propane burner, boiler blowdown valve, etc.

Baseboard measures : 15” square.

Price - £1,250.
