John Rex Model Engineers 4 1/2" Compound Foden C Type Steam Wagon.
This is an immaculate example of a brand new engine (Powder coated tanks, motion work stripped, painted and re assembled, new Canadian maple buck, new oak sideboards, new roof and much much more. This is an older boiler (1997) but the engine has never been completely finished although it has seen a handful of rallies over a five year period as it was stripped for painting in late 2014 (first steam test 23/06/2010)
Since the completing final assembly (Last Friday 15th September) the engine has been steamed twice one of which being a full years steam test. Both times the engine has performed impeccably! The engine is not a modelworks kit and is built with all JRME Castings/parts including the boiler. The wheels are one off designed to make it a twin wheeler whilst not looking to wide and out of scale and the fronts are also split rims with mini hubs and brakes hidden by the wheels. The chassis and axles are a dark green with various shades of green for the rest of the engine with black mudguards.
This is a chance to own a compound Foden as these are rarely seen on the rally field, The sides are left plain for us to sign write your own name.
This is a chance to own the best Foden on the market for sale at £24,000
