LOCOMOTIVE: A fine model of a ‘Royal Scot’ 4-6-0 express passenger locomotive, 5-inch gauge live steam model comprising the locomotive, tender and metal trolly display stand. The Royal Scot was the first of a class of locomotives designed by Sir Henry Fowler for the LMS and built in 1927. The original engine toured the USA in 1933 creating much interest - as a result of this visit, Bassett Lowke received an order for a 1 ½ inch scale model from an American customer.
This impressive locomotive was purchased by the constructor J. Fitzpatrick QLD in 1992.
It is understood this engine has only been run for several hours since construction and has the capacity to pull 16 adults. Accompanying the sale is a provenance file including purchase receipt and boiler certificate (1989-1992) issued by Bill Reeves in QLD.
Sold with two fitted timber transportation boxes.
