2 1/2 inch gauge LMS 4F 0-6-0 - stock code 9685

A 2 1/2 inch gauge spirit-fired LMS 4F, an older model which has seen a good deal of use over the years.

The engine runs on air, the bottom end coming up to needing an overhaul with rebushing of motionwork and valve gear required.

Paintwork is "working clothes" - worn but with a certain charm. We like the hand painted cabside numbers and "LMS" on the tender.

Boiler is copper, it's had a twice working pressure hydraulic test with certification issued for same.
