That Fleishman 125/4 looks interesting to me!...the flywheels/cyl/governor have a well made attractive look and I like to see oil cups on the flywheel main bearings specially....boiler looks good to....the only thing I notice is the black painted brick Firebox....copper is my favorite color metal and I find Wilesco copper bricks are my favorite so far...are these 125/4 quite rare?

You won’t regret buying one, I only sold mine on for shelf space when I bought it’s larger brother the 135/2. They also come with a very attractive purple-blue boiler 😍 (they are often missing a little door on the back of the firebox under the smoke stack, but I see Scott’s still has it)
