Please see: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/7-25-GAUGE-7-1-4-INCH-LIVE-STEAM-2-6-0-LOCO-TENDER-TRACK-READY-TO-RUN-/261050890298?pt=UK_Trains_Railway_Models&hash=item3cc7d8783a#ht_794wt_1188 Favourite Quotes: "tender being slightly over-scale" "Only slight issues I have found - the front pony wheel set needs aligning properly & the pressure gauge is registering 30 PSI even when cold" "but would probably benefit from some fresh paint" |
