Here we have another really nice example of a 1 1/2" scale Alchin to the superb 'Royal Chester' design by Bill Hughes. The engine has been steamed in the past and appears to have been run on a number of occasions, which always bodes well for a small model like this,...... if they don't steam properly then they tend not to have been used more than once or twice! That said mechanically it's certainly not worn out or tired in any way.
There are loads of lovely delicate details as usual. Water lifter, injector, crank shaft pump. mechanical lubricator, and it's also a nicely painted and lined model. Hopefully the photos ought to do the model justice so that you can see what you are buying. As with all our completed and ready to go models, she can be given a full 4 year hydraulic boiler test on the copper silver soldered boiler, and a fresh annual steam test as well should you wish to run her.
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
