4½” Foden Steam Wagon
This model can be built to many finishes; as a long or short wheel base flat bed or articulated wagon or even as a steam bus, using either solid wheels or the more convenient pneumatic tyres. The two cylinder engine can be built in either compound (COMP) or ‘double high’ (DH) forms. The Foden wagon is capable of an impressive turn of speed and is designed with hydraulic front brakes for peace of mind.
