Ultra-short wheelbase 0-4-0, possibly made by Vulcan. 30" gauge.

That's a very short wheelbase indeed! Also a nice piece for the right individual or group.

Thanks for saying "plinthed" instead of That Other Thing We Say. It's much classier and less derogatory... plus I'm sure there's no stuffing inside, so it's far more accurate. :-)

Hope someone steps up. Presume development is causing the move?

Must have been a fried chicken place because this poor thing looks like a plucked chicken.
Somebody step up, rescue it and make it look like a steam engine again. Please.

Hey don, sounds familiar! I'll be calling them, I need 30" gauge like I need a hole in my head but if no one else wants it I might be interested.

I almost jokingly thought, "Here's another restaurant billboard for Stathi". Perhaps you can re-gauge to 36. Would take a lot of work but can be done. I also emailed the current owner of the 30" gauge Disney Ft. Wilderness engines.

Ha! Mike, I didn't even think of the restaurant billboard connection! Well that might just be karma then!
