Notes:
David Auld rear wheel cylinder locomotive that has not been fired. Have tried it on compressed air, all timing perfect. Quite strong power being a twin cylinder. Can reverse. Wheels are lead. One rear wheel has some cracking in it. Was hoping a reader may have access to replacement wheel or suggestions on how to repair. 1.3m Round track is currently being cleaned up. David Auld locomotives are 0 gauge and were made between 1966 to 1989. This one is of the later design being a square cylinder head. As I understand only 27 were made with a square cylinder head. Engine is just shy of 20cm long including front buffers and weighs in at 784 grams (1 Pound 12 Ounces) empty.
