Archangel Sgt Murphy
Posted: Sat Mar 09, 2013 8:12 pm
Some years ago (about 4/5) i sadly sold my Archangel Sgt Murphy and would dearly like to find it again.
It was in itself quite distinctive, having been modified by ACME engineering, a pipe added to the blowdown valve to discharge under the footplate, a set of buffer beams fitted with Brandbright sprung centre buffer couplings as well as the standard Archangel supplied bufferbeams with talyllyn style couplings.
It also had a mark down the left hand tank where the paintwork had come off and a previous owner had repainted it.
Built in the early 80's (81/82/83).
If anyone knows where my loco ended up id be happy to hear from them.
