In addition to the photos below we have the following items:

• NEW IN.7 1/4" Tom Rolt 0-4-2 , narrow gauge live steam tank loco. Wonderful loco with professional John Ellis Copper boiler with original certification. Being a narrow gauge, this is a large loco and great passenger hauling capability. It was built by Brian Patton and featured in the 7 1/4" gauge society. "Tom Rolt" is of course Talyllyn Railway No. 7, named after the first General Manager of the railway. Boiler history present, just out of ticket so will need retest. We also have a superb & very new driver's truck, by Ride On Railways at a cost of £1,428, with coal chute, water tank, water level indicator, electric water pump & vacuum pass through pipe. Also an additional passenger wagon, and driver's truck with coal bunker & vacuum brakes. This is quite an engine, superbly built, Ellis boiler and super detail. Initial photos just added below.

• NEW IN. 5" GWR King part built chassis (with bogie), most castings, gunmetal cylinders, engine and tender wheels, and a part built boiler with most/all boiler parts (needs small boiler tubes). I have found the Kennion Bros drawings "King John", to the Wilson design. Photos just added below. Happy to discuss price so please call.

• Rare 7.25" Paddington cylinders and wheels. The larger version of LBSC's 0-6-0 Speedy. A wonderful loco, but here we have just the cylinder and wheel castings. We also have a full set of drawings for the Paddington too. My understanding is you can't get these any longer so please call with some urgency if you you would like them. Now available.

• 5" Black 5, 4-6-0 live steam tender loco. Complete. Professionally made boiler with certificate. Photos just added below.
• Very Important 5" LBSC Speedy. It's actually called a Stormy. Fantastic detail including westinghouse type pump, dinamo, super rivit and general fine nut/bolt quality. Looks to be quite an important model indeed. I imagine will put just about every other Speedy engine into the 'ordinary' box. According to the previous owner there were drawings from Tee Publishing with more complex backhead fittings/controls. Like a Speedy with added detail. Needs some work. New superheaters included that will need fitting. This was boiler tested in 2017 but the inspector (working out of Bath) lost the paperwork. The test plug is still in the loco. So it was necessary to disassemble it for a second time and the opportunity was taken to renew the superheater. It was not tested again, so the superheater has never been used. A sensitive recommisioning would be great. The new owner could of course elect to re-paint, however we think keeping this loco's original livery and fantastic patina is the order of the day, but up to you. Photos just added below.

• Just Arrived 3.5" Martin Evans Jubilee 2-6-4 tank loco chassis. All wheels done on frames including bogie and trailing truck. Also axel twin water pump all done with eccentrics. Smokebox also present. 35-36" long, 5.75" wide. I have just taken some photos, so probably best if you see those first. At £375, hopefully a bargin for someone.

• 2.5" Green Arrow LNER Class V2 2-6-2 Tender loco. Nigel Gresley designed. An excellent example. It does look good and has a wonderfull antique patina of an older build loco at the same time. This one is a true 3 cylinder example with double acting axel water pumps. Certainly a desirable 2.5" gauge loco. Photos just added below.

• New in 4" Ruston Proctor road traction engine. Current boiler certificates for it's professionally made boiler. Can be supplied with a fantastic driver's trailer. The 4" Proctor is a smaller 4" so ideal size if a 3" is not quite large enough for you. Nicely finished in deep green, a lovely looking engine, acquired from the original builder. Just arrived, photos just added below.
• New in 1" Minnie live steam traction engine. Built and steamed a few years ago. Has been on display since. The builder said it ran well forward and reverse, but slightly better forward. A well built engine but certainly not a show or exhibition model. Will be priced accordingly. Photos coming soon. Do call if you would like a good (not excellent) very reasonably priced Minnie.
• New in Westbury Diagonal Paddle Steam Engine. Photos and information coming soon, but do call if interested.

• Selection of Stuart stationary engine kits of castings. I have just purchased a number of original Stuart Henly-On-Thames (vintage items in old boxes with straw !) Some of the boxes are ok, and some have disintegrated and have been thrown out. I have checked the contents. A small number of castings in some of the sets have rust. I have not checked the small packed bags of nuts and bolts to see if there is also rust there, but can do so before accepting an order. By all means make me an offer on the collection. Just arrived, do call me if interested. Please remember these are very good old quality castings.
