Designed and built by William Briggs, with valve gear designed and built by LBSC (Lillian ‘Curly’ Lawrence). This well documented and historic spirit fired model is recorded as being the first 2.5" gauge locomotive to pull an adult passenger in 1922. The model features 2 inside cylinders, sprung suspension, sprung buffers, lubricators, hand water pump, steam whistle, pressure gauge etc, closed coupled with articulated 6-wheel tender. Finished in lined dark blue livery with maroon chassis and a miniature works plate which reads ‘Radford Works 1922’. Appears to be in reasonably good overall condition but does require restoration. Sold as a collector’s item only. Our estimate reflects this locomotive’s historic importance. £800-1200 Note: LBSC referred to her as ‘The Anticipator’ referring to the GNR locomotive built soon after with an articulated tender. She visited 121 Grange Road, Purley Oaks (Lawrence’s home) for a major overhaul in 1941. A photograph of model appears in the book “LBSC, His Life & Locomotives” by Brian Hollingsworth and reference to its historic importance is made in an article by LBSC in The Model Engineer, (11th December 1947, page 632).William Briggs was an engineer apprenticed at Brighton Works (L,B&SCR), before moving to the Daimler works in Radford, Coventry (which is where the reference to Radford Works originates from on the works plate) and then to the Napier factory in Manchester.
