A particularly well-built freelance 4-8-0, nicely proportioned with a touch of the "Colonial Hunslet" about it. It's come to us from a prolific builder and boiler maker - we've bought and sold engines from each other for more years than I can remember now; everything that emerges from his workshop is crisply made, well laid out for driving and goes well.

 

 

This one is no exception, it impressed on test recently - runs very well in both directions, the backhead is neatly laid out and easy to get at, boiler makes steam for England. A thoroughly well-sorted locomotive, we liked this one.
