Steven's Model Dockyard 3.5" gauge 2-4-0 Dragon Live Steam Locomotive c. 1880

            Steven's Model Dockyard were in East London and commenced business in 1843.
This is the oldest model in my collection, it is made from brass and sadly it is missing a few components.
I was in a bit of a dilemma. It came as part of an auction lot I bought some time ago which contained a number of different items. At the time I was not sure whether to keep it or not and I did not know whether to clean it or not - it would look really nice polished up.
After discussions with other experienced collectors I have decided to keep it and leave it as it is.
