Beeson 0 Gauge 4-4-2 Locomotive & Tender NBR Brown ‘Borderer’ No.881, 3-rail electric

NOT FOR SALE

James Beeson 0 Gauge – 4-4-2 Locomotive & Tender N.B.R. (North British Railway) class C11 ‘Borderer’ No. 881, 3-rail. When purchased some years ago, this Locomotive’s boiler bands were pealing off (yes, it was fitted with paper boiler bands). Alan Brackenbrough has now sorted these out.

Hand applied name ‘BOARDER’ front splasher, crest to second splasher and ‘N.B.R.’ lettering to tender sides. It is fitted with a skate-style 3-rail pick-up under the tender. Excellent cab detail, and this runs as you would expect, like a Swiss watch.

Twenty-two locomotives were built, all named Borderer. The first was built in 1906 and withdrawn in 1936; all were scrapped by 1939.
