Copper boiler on 3" Foden
I have recently come across a very nicely engineered 3" Foden wagon. I am trying to ascertain who built the boiler and the only identification on it is a stamp bearing A096. Does anyone recognise this number? I know the wagon was built prior to 2002 so carries no CE mark, but I was wondering whether this is a professional built one or not.
The engine has only had a few steamings looking at the cleanliness of everything, however it does steam well. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks |

Hi, I think it would be a good idea to post a photo of the engine, and a little more info. People are more likely to know who built the engine from memory of seeing it at rallies etc. I had a 3" compound Foden, great fun - but a lot of looking after. Good Luck with your quest, and Enjoy!!

Yes that was my initial thought Julia, but the boiler looks extremely well made and very professional so maybe it has been built by a very competent and talented engineer (They are around!).The wagon has never been rallied.
How is your GMT coming along? Michael |
