Not very pretty though , is it?

MikeWilliams · Apr 27 2018 23:29

Agreed!

Maybe it just needs some TLC (and a boiler certificate)

It looks like a commercial model to me, but I have no idea what.

If it is that loco -then I will have a "punt"!!! The N2.5GA say that they have the plans which would make restoration a lot easier. If it is home made then I could hit it with the stripper with no qualms. A commercial item I would treasure in its wear and tear.

Well Ralph, did you have that punt? and the result? I believe it sold for just above the higher estimate, plus commission I assume.
