Default 6" Scale Foden "C" Type

I am selling my Foden as I have moved up a scale to 12" to the foot !. She was built in 2006 by Grattons of Derby using a boiler they had purchased from a model engineers widow, The boiler was dry stored for a number of years before being installed in my engine. I purchased her in 2008 when she was complete but had been kept by Des Grattons widow in their garage unused.
She has about 7 years of her hydraulic test left and has just had a thorough cold and steam test which she p[passed with flying colours!. Her engine is running on double high cylinders and she has 3 speeds. Brakes are hydraulic and cable to the rear wheels.She is running on pneumatic tyres.Not registered for the road.She will come complete with firing irons tubes brush etc and tarp covers. Also twin axle trailer which has a full tarp cover, loading ramps ,tie down rings, and a 9.500lb electric winch,Bulldog, Hitchlock also supplied ,I have had the trailer about 2 years from new and it has had little use. Some video footage can be viewed on UTube under "Mickydint"Please contact me via Pm or email me on richard.taylor9@btinternet.com if your interested.
