Amazing Locomotive
£3,500.00
Without doubt this is one of the best items we have had the privilege to uncover, you will never find another like it……….
Description
We are proud to offer one of the best examples of English early 20th Century scratch built folk art examples. Modelled on an English steam locomotive this item has been wonderfully constructed using metal sheets and other found engineering objects of sorts. With all its original paint still intact, the proportions are what makes this model so special and due to its size of 3 feet across, a complete one of a kind. The item was created as a model and does not move, the inside of the engine room is quite amazing with a coal hatch that opens and closes, control leavers and several other accessories in place. We believe the doors and windows would have originally open and closed however due to its age rust forming these functions are no longer. This item was recently uncovered in a disused train service station in Swindon.

What Our Customers Say
I stumbled across The House of Antiques store after following them on Instagram. Having the need to source unusual visual items for my job I noticed something that would work perfectly for our next set design.
Being based overseas I thought dealing with a UK based company would be a logistical nightmare. This was not my experience, They were quick to respond, answered all my questions and had the item delivered right on time (fantastic job guys).
Truly amazing bunch of guys, offering amazing objects, who obviously love what they do.
