The engine is available in manual or radio control versions. The cab roof slides back to give access to the gas, water and lubricator fillers. The cab has full rivet detail The boiler is fitted with a water blow down valve and the displacement lubricator has an under floor drain valve.

The model is built from stainless steel and brass, and with the correct maintenance, will give a lifetime of pleasure.
