An impressive 5 inch gauge 45xx GWR Prairie No 5525 locomotive, scratch built by a Mr R G Joyce over a five year period and completed in 1990. With blue print designs, a letter from Mr Joyce when sold in 1994 to the vendor, and a range of documents including an old boiler certificate from 1991, photographs when in use etc. Also with a section of track mounted on a wooden plinth, not with a current boiler certificate. Locomotive 101cms long, approx 37cms high
*This locomotive has been 'steamed' on a number of occasions in conjunction with the Tiverton & Blundells Model Engineering Society, it has not been used in recent years and would need a new boiler certificate. *CR This does not have a current boiler certificate, condition seems generally good, the lettering of Great Western has flaked a little in places, a few marks and scratches as you would expect over time and use.
