A lovely example of a D. R. Mercer 3/4 inch scale Showmans Road Locomotive Engine. Assembled from kit form but finished to the highest of standards, this Showmans Engine is fitted with an extended firebox/gas conversion unit originally supplied by Cheddar Models.
A good step up from the Mamod and Wilesco ranges, the model is nicely lined with "Rosie Lee" nameplates and makes for a superb display model. It runs nicely on air and has evidently seen some use though has not been tested on steam pressure for the purpose of this sDale. Unfortunately, the model does not come with any paperwork.
Overall, a great miniature model and display engine from a brand of models which are becoming increasingly sought after!
The total length including gas tank is 40cm, total height is 21.5cm and total width is 13cm.
