We are delighted to offer for sale, on behalf of the owner, this mighty 4” scale Fowler Road Locomotive! An impressive engine which was carefully built over 2 1/2 years by the owner before being enjoyed for several years.
Key Features:
- The boiler was commercially made by AJB Engineering in 2015 and is accompanied by full documents. We can update the boiler test, if requested.
- Notably, this is a true compound example.
- Three-speed, compound cylinder arrangement with slide valves actuated by Stephenson’s links.
- Mechanical water pump and steam injector fitted for filling the boiler when in steam, as standard.
- Steam whistle, governor, mechanical lubricator, and operational pressure release valves, as expected.
- Well-built to a good standard throughout and maintained to a high standard. Having seen only a few years of use, there is very little wear in the components. In previous ownership, it has undergone improvements to the motion work and the high gear has been changed making it a little faster on the road.
- The paintwork is recent and looks very smart! It is finished in a pleasant livery with a sign-written canopy.
- Road Locomotive fittings including motion covers, solid, Fowler-shaped flywheel, bunker extension, belly tanks, half-canopy and rubber tyres.
- The wheels are fitted with vulcanised tyres for a smooth and comfortable ride on the road as well as the rally field.
- Registered for road use with a current V5C (66 plate).
- Ride-on single seat included which attaches to the rear of tender with footrests.
- Includes a half-day tuition session, if requested by the buyer.
Overall, an impressive miniature of which rarely comes to the open market! It sits large in our showroom and certainly looks the part of a powerful Fowler Road Locomotive!
