Unsteamed, the engine is fairly stiff to turn over - not unheard of in kits which have been assembled "straight from the box" without a degree of fettling. Complete apart from a couple of blanking plugs for throatplate and front tubeplate; the valve and eccentric need setting - it makes half a turn on air.
Complete with original build instructions and manufacturer's boiler certification, there is further information and a full specification for the model on Steam Traction World's website.
Complete with a purpose-built stand on castors.
