Offering what can only be described as a collectors display model. This Class R1 Tank 0-6-0T (ex-H/Dublo -1968) shares a chassis block with the 2-6-0T. The tool for this was lost in 1989 as a result few R1 locomotives were produced after this date. This locomotive in N.T.G (National Thames Gas) Yellow running number 56 was produced between 1979 -1980. It is reported that only 600 were actually made.
In all my years of collecting I have NOT seen many in such great condition. The locomotive remains as found in test run and displayed only. Includes original box, packaging, manual and usual holding rings and tissue!
In 1887 it was decided to introduce a class of 0-6-0T locomotives specifically for shunting and for hauling local goods trains. The R class locomotives were designed by James Stirling as a new class. In all 25 were built at Ashford Works between 1888 and 1898. As was typical of Stirling’s designs, several components were shared with existing designs, for example the domeless boilers.
Note: engine remains test run only, a lubrication and or basic service advisable if to be permanently run.
