Here we have a super rare and unusual model of a really interesting early prototype. A 5" gauge 1850s French PLM Railways (Paris à Lyon et à la Méditerranée) 'Bourbonaise' 0-6-0! This is sold here as a display model, as although essentially everything is there for it to be fired up and a running loco, we reckon there's probably a little bit too much work for us to be able to commission it fully and still price it sensibly. Although the overall look and detail of the model is lovely, the model engineering quality is fairly basic and chunky, which we feel caps the value it the level we have placed it.
We are super busy here in the workshop at the moment, so apologies for the lack of written information here at the moment! We have an ever increasing backlog of models that we need to get listed up for sale, and so have prioritised getting them photographed, priced and live for sale. More details will of course be added very shortly, but for now if you'd like to know any more details do give us a bell on 07816 963463 for a chat.
Here's a link to the Wikipedia listing for the loco type and the preserved one 030 PLM 1401 à 1510 — Wikipédia (wikipedia.org)
As with most of our models, what you see isn't necessarily what you get!
We often photograph models pretty much as they come in to us, and then when someone phones to say they are interested we pull the model into our workshops and make sure everything is tested, sorted and ready to go. So if you see the odd model photograph with a fitting missing or a return crank in the wrong place, that's just how it came in and certainly not how it will leave.
For any more information please don't hesitate to give us a bell on 07816 963463
