7¼" Gauge Class 20 Petrol Locomotive

7¼" Gauge Class 20 Petrol Locomotive

An overscale sit in Class 20 locomotive, built by B Breeze in 1981 for the Somerleyton Hall Railway in Norfolk, it was in regular use there until sold around 20 years ago, since when it has been stored.
 
Villiers 11E 2-stroke engine with 3 speed gearbox, plus forward/reverse, all mounted on the front bogie - the same setup as the ubiquitous Cromar White Hymeks (one of which also ran at Somerleyton). Cab hinges forwards to give easy access to the powered bogie. Battery compartment at the rear behind the driver's seat.
 
As it has just come out of storage it will require restoration to running order - the mechanicals all appear in good order however.
Approximate dimensions:
8ft 6in long over buffers
20in wide
25in high
Sold May 2023
