A superb example of an extremely rare locomotive in this gauge, in fact I only know of one other. She has just had her final coat of paint - L&Y Blackberry Black.

The full size Lancashire & Yorkshire locomotive was known as the “High flyer” due to its 7 feet 5 inch driving wheels obliging the boiler and firebox to be so high.

She has twin injectors and a pole reverser and unusually a pole/rachet handbrake on the opposite side of the footplate.

She measures 88”long, 14”wide, 21”high. The boiler certificate for the copper boiler expires Feb.2015 hydraulic, and April 2012 steam.

Price: £12,950 - part exchange welcome.

This 5”gauge locomotive was completed in 2010 being built by a very experienced model engineer from the kit of machined parts as supplied by the Japanese company, OS live steam.

OS Live Steam of Japan were established 68years ago and are the world’s largest company devoted solely to the manufacture of live steam model locomotives. I previously had a 3.5”g Britannia of theirs and not only was it powerful but it ran like clockwork. Their fine engineering is superb both visually and in practice. This loco in machined kit form cost over £18,000.

She has a double action axle pump, injector, tender hand pump. mechanical lubricator, steam brake, tender hand brake, electric headlamps,etc.

Being built to the European Loading Gauge makes this locomotive considerably larger than the equivalent British Standard Gauge loco.-, 60”long, 11”wide, 16”high. Almost as large as some 7.25”g. models.For this reason the owner has the choice, when driving, of either sitting on the tender or sitting behind on a driving trolley.

The model is in MINT condition, she has been test run on compressed air and since has only been on display, and comes with a set of drawings and the manufacturer’s boiler certificate.

A full Specification can be found on Oslivesteam.com

This model locomotive is built to exhibition prize winning standards. It has done a fair amount of club running and has been stored away for several years. I have given it a hydraulic test at 120psi and ran it on air and it performed effortlessly.

This loco was built by a former President of Birmingham South M.E.S. in the late 60’s, Bill Lowe, the owner of an engineering firm and an acknowledge “perfectionist” model engineer.

As an enthuisiast of all things Midland Railway he based this model on the Johnson’ 0-6-0 but in sidetank form.

It has an axle pump, injector, hand pump, mechanical lubricator, dummy sandboxes, etc.

The deep patination on the boiler has developed the appearance of Flame Mahogany and in my opinion would make an ideal display piece.
