5”gauge Exhibition Quality Nigel Gresley A4 pacific This superb A4 was commission built by a professional model engineer to Clarksons of York’s design and drawings-a company, now unfortunately no longer in existence, that was renowned for the high standard of their castings and an accurate scaling down of the full size locomotive that preserved the details in miniature. The Wild Swan was one of only four A4’s that had the row of rivets along the top of the boiler. This
model has been in my own collection for some years but is now for sale
due to downsizing. The loco has been run on compressed air but not
steamed. She has a SMEE hydraulic boiler certificate - 180psi - which
expired in 2007. After completion the locomotive was sent to a commercial spray painter where it received its great professional finish. Price: £19,950 - part exchange welcome. |
