A ~32mm-gauge dark green cabless Midland Railway "Crampton"-configuration 4-2-0 locomotive, with dark green six-wheel tender (with red bed), and white lining.
The loco has significantly smaller drivewheels than most of the other "Cramptons" in the cabinet.
This is part of a collection that shows the development of early steam locomotive design. The models are all an "approximately 00/HO-gauge sized" mixture of 3.5 and 3mm scale, and broad-gauge locomotives, on 32mm track, and are probably a mix of modified white metal kits and scratch-built parts.
