3 1/2 inch gauge "Canterbury Lamb" - stock code 10945

A venerable 3 1/2 inch gauge "Canterbury Lamb", LBSC's take on "Invicta", built for the Canterbury & Whitstable Railway by Stephensons in 1829.

Unsteamed from new, the boiler has two small drilled holes in the backhead of unknown purpose (other than causing a leak!), which could be tapped and plugged.
