My Dad built this maybe 25 years ago, what is it? Never seen it under steam, not found any instructions. Is it worth anything? Does anybody want it/where to sell it? Thanks

I'm sure it'll be worth something, best thing to do (imho of course) is get in touch with a local scale steam group and get someone to give it a look over. To really increase its value you could have it steam tested - if it passes and gets a ticket it'll be very valuable.

Edit - Ah, based on the below, it doesn't have a pressure boiler as I thought so disregard getting it tested!

Did a google lens search and came up with this.

It could well be this 1/12th scale Super Sentinel Steam Wagon that Maxitrak sold. It was available as either an unpainted kit, painted kit or a ready to run model.

Setting up searches on Ebay and Facebook Marketplace would be a good start, and perhaps a call to Maxitrak, as they do have a secondhand page so might be willing to buy it back or act as an intermediary to find a buyer.

Well that helps a lot, thanks very much all. There's a radio control sat next to it, but I hadn't put the two items together.
