NOT FOR SALE

Beeson 0 Gauge 0-6-0 LMS Jinty Tank Locomotive No.7667, 2-rail electric – This model was built in 1936 and returned to Beeson in 1940 for conversion to 2-rail.

When purchased from a Christie’s sale in 1982 the locomotive did not work very well, the new owner contacted Beeson who confirmed he built it and agreed to repair it. Beeson replaced the Motor, Wheels, bearing and brake gear and finished with a chassis repaint.

The locomotive classification was 3F, and 422 were built between 1924 and 1931. No.7667 was part of the last batch built in 1931.

422 was transferred to BR on 01/01/1948, and the 7667 number was changed to 47667. The loco was withdrawn in November 1966 and scrapped the following March.
