In the same condition as last time it was here, pictures opposite were taken in recent days, words below from last year. The commercially-built boiler remains as-new, we would warranty it as sound.
A 3 1/2 inch gauge Stanier 2-6-4T to Martin Evans' "Jubilee" design. Built to a fairly pedestrian standard and apparently painted with a tar brush, it requires work including repair to a leaking superheater element, attention to a tight spot in the motion and seized regulator.
Fitted with a commercially made boiler by Cheddar, which looks like it's only been steamed a handful of times.
