As I mentioned in my introduction to you guys in August, My uncle left me his awesome collection of steam engines , electric trains , clockwork models etc.. I am still sorting them all out, but I came across this last week and it blew my mind. Let me know what you think !!!

She is about 250mm wide by 850mm long, isn't it beautiful !

Cool.
If you do want to fire it up find a local model engineering club and get them to test the boiler first.

you must be lucky!
a coalfired engine! Is it 3,5 inch or a 5 inch model ? By the way the gauge is not so important . I hope you find a way to ride it and than post a vid of this beauty under steam ! As mentioned above : Make an hydraulic test first to see if she´s steamable at all and than off with her on the rails !

cheers Joe
