Samson

Though not intended to be a scale model, Samson is a narrow gauge locomotive based on Bagnall's Gibraltar class engines. Samson comes with boiler and gas tank test certificates.

The boiler is made from copper with all joints silver soldered. It is fired by a ceramic gas burner. The firetube has a combustion chamber at the burner end with cross tubes and tapers down to 22mm dia at the smoke box end. Gas is supplied from a refillable gas tank mounted on the foot plate.
