It's a bit tall and wide for G3, and what with him saying the "distance between the wheels is 64mm", I'm wondering if that is the back-to-back and possibly something like a 3" gauge.  It wouldn't fit through my tunnels so I'm not interested!

The seller has previously sold G3 items and describes display tracks he is also selling as 64mm gauge, one of which it looks to be standing on, it seems reasonable to assume this is a 64mm gauge loco the tender from which has possibly been sold in an earlier listing.

Chris you are probably right about the gauge then but I'm just pointing out that his cited dimensions of width and height are way to large for a Gauge 3 anything, the height in particular (220mm = 16'4") being greater than in the recommended G3 standards and the width scaling at 10'4".  At best it's very "semi-scale".

Sold for £310 - just for the record.
