Is this of interest?

WARNING.....the Ebay photos show two different models.

The "headline" photo is of a small-boilered Ivatt (e.g. the preserved Henry Oakley)but the remainder are of a (less elegant) large-boilered example (and the boiler looks to be pitched much higher than i remember).

I have already asked the seller a question.

It has now been corrected. Sadly the very pretty small boilered atlantic picture has been removed so it looks like the "less elegant" version is the subject of the auction.

Be careful, it's from a "diseased estate".  Steaming should eradicate any bugs...
It is a sad state of affairs though that beautiful pieces of workmanship like this are only finished by very old people.  Either we must start sooner or not be too ambitious.   Hmmm....

Hi All

Just noticed that this locomotive has been re submitted on Ebay with about 18 hours to go. Still seems a nice engine, and hope a member buys it as I would love to see it at a GTG.
