A fine example of a 5 inch gauge 0-6-0 LMS class 3F tank engine, based on 47383 built in 1926 by the Vulcan Foundry and now preserved on the Severn Valley Railway. From an original Samuel Johnson design, redesigned by Sir Henry Fowler, the model was built to a very high standard from drawings by Martin Evans, together with a series of articles published in the Model Engineer 1997 by the late F Deane, with the exception of the silver soldering of the boiler and the external machining of the cylinder block casting. These two aspects were done by Ernie Millard, Chairman of Canterbury & District Model Engineering Society and Granville Askham, President of the same society. A comprehensive set of photographs showing all stages of construction, comes with the engine, also the drawings. The engine is said not to have been fired and is in original pristine condition, there is however no boiler certificate
