3" Marshall "S-Type" Exhibition Quality

We have some very nice engines come through the door here at Legacy and every now and again something really stands out with, this 3" Marshall S-Type being one of them. The closer you look the better this one gets with workmanship and attention to detail throughout being of Exhibition quality.

The S-Type Marshall is a rare and interesting engine with the most notable feature being the radial valve gear, there are only a small handful of miniatures of the type built with this one being the best we have seen.

According to the boiler test history the engine was completed in 2007, it was then used sporadically over the following years with the final recorded test being in 2014. Unlike most miniatures the boiler itself is true to full-size with the hornplates being part of the boiler rather than being bolted on. The firebox originally had the X pressing in the top however on initial hydraulic it was discovered crown-stays were required due to the material choice and are now fitted. The boiler has just undergone a through examination, chemical clean and hydraulic test, it will be steam tested on the boiler inspectors next visit.

Paintwork has been executed to a high standard and has mellowed nicely to give a working feel, the lining has been done as per the original Marshall scheme and to the correct line sizing etc.
