Think almost certainly its a Hamblings Gnat.
I am the fortunate owner of a product of the Manchester legends. The standard even by todays benchmark is still excellent. Some went to great lengths, it is an exL&Y 0-6-0 tender loco, it has a bespoke motor lying flat in the tender which drives the loco wheels via a cardan shaft; this is turn has allowed working eccentrics, very visible in these high pitch boiler locos. The only limit to its pulling power is when a coupling pulls out!
Does anyone know what happened to Ross Pochin’s superb Furness collection?
