Hello,

long time no postings! But I have other outlets…

I have acquired a crude tinplate model of the above locomotive, it appears to be hand painted, and the wheels are wooden discs, unflanged on stiff wire axles. Track gauge is about 16 mm and it measures 230 x 50 x 80 mm See my album, Geoff

Does c anyone know anything about it? Or name a source of further information?

Surprised you never got a response – Looks to me like it's probably based on the early rolling stock of the Paris Metro;

I offer a Metropolitan Vickers electric loco, introduced in the 1920s

No 17 above was Florence Nightingale, scrapped in 1942 after an accident.

No 2 was Oliver Cromwell, renamed Thomas Lord in 1953, withdrawn 1962.

.. nothing raises the right answer quicker than a wrong one 🙂

..I misread 'Metropolitan' as 'Metropolitain'..

Sarah was somewhat before my time but I'm given to understand her Lady Macbeth was unparalleled..
