Hi Corbs, Careful, that looks not so much like a rolling chassis, more a partially seized chassis. Gibbo. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the completely inexplicable addition of "Thomas the Tank Engine" to the title! Also "all the major items appear to be there" - very reassuring for £5000! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem comes to moving it. Then finding a decent home. Then restoring it. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ironically if this small tank engine was from an ex-BR class the price would probably increase ten-fold. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Alex TM Posted October 17, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 17, 2020 Hi there, Interesting sale. Out of curiousityI looked at the listing, and it gives a potted history of both locos; one of them is listed as having been new to "Colziumquarry Co LTD". The only Colzium I am aware of is in Kilsyth, North Lanarkshire. There were quarries nearby but I don't recall ever seeing them described as having rail connections or networks. Does this mean that it's another Colzium? If so, where? Regards, Alex. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dagrizz Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 Cadley Hill colliery, Feb 1976 And a loco that was plinthed near Daventry town centre for a few years. I think it eventually moved to a preservation site. This photo was in Nov 1978. Graham 11 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
