Maybe/perhaps/possibly/not?

 

A super nice find regardless !!!

 

Thanks Fatman,  you have a good eye.  I have also thought to Leeds, i have placed an O gauge one next to this one and it looks really similar in construction.

Unfortunately the loco doesn't have an original motor, it is a replacement with an old can motor from certainly the first ones produced. The patina of the paint is great and really old, i would say from the thirties but it is only my opinion....

In Great Britain there where also many good kit builders using parts from Basset-Lowke, Bonds, Leeds, Milbro and others so hard to have the definite answer...

Anyway I will try to do more research and complete the loco which is missing a whistle and the side plates with the name; next step will be a set of passenger cars i think Bing but maybe also some home made models, there is sometime nice things on eBay in Great Britain.

All my best wishes,  Daniel
