now that's a rare beggar and worth snapping up i was only looking at the
drawings last night the original that lbsc built had four cylinders,,,, for
his followers he designed 3 cylander version ,,,as far as i know there was only
one 4 cylander version built by the master himself ,,,its going to require a
good 30 ft radius track and if i go through my book it has the pulling capacity
there some where which is quite tremendous
what a lovely job to get all those wheals running sweetly

From the photos it looks quite a nice loco. Can't tell if it's the
proper 3 cylinder version or just a 2 cylinder. Considering the rarity
of the Caterpillar models and assuming this one to be a good example,
£950 is not an unrealistic starting price.
