The Aveling & Porter 3" Scale is based on the G.N.D 4hp Tractor of the 1920's and features a 6" dia copper boiler, silver soldered throughout (complete with test certificate). Water is held in the tender and belly-tank and fed to the boiler via a crankshaft pump, with injector available as an optional extra. Steering is by worm and wheel via chain to the front axle. The full length canopy (optional) can be removed to facilitate driving. Brass top chimney and individually numbered maker's plate are standard as is the brass "Invicta" on the smoke box door. Various options are available including injector and differential. A speed of 6 mph is attainable and the locomotive will negotiate the roughest of terrain successfully. A four wheeled driving wagon is available for this engine.
