A 3 1/2 inch gauge "barn find" Britannia to the LBSC design.

The engine rolls freely but will need various jobs attending to before use - these require time in the workshop rather than significant additional expenditure, and include:

  • Pistons and/or valves pass air, need disassembling to service
  • Water gauge reads incorrectly and will require stripping to clean
  • Regulator leaks, linkage has wear which would be worth correcting before it's used in anger on the track
  • Paintwork requires some retouching, smokebox door needs repainting

The combustion chamber boiler has had a hydraulic test in the workshop with new certification issued - we also have past club and current commercial history for it.
