A 3 1/2 inch gauge Great Western 4-6-0, No.6023 "King Edward II"; well built it's come to us part-way through rebuild of the tender onto a more detailed chassis. Anno domini having caught up with the owner, he decided it's time to move it on to a younger man for the work required to complete it.

The locomotive itself is in good condition; the boiler - which has previous club history - has had a hydraulic test with new certification issued in recent days.

The tender is only loosely assembled - the previous owner had acquired another chassis which he intended to detail and use, which is included.

The engine steams freely and runs well although requires some work, including servicing/replacment of the safety valve which accumulates, ditto injector which is unreliable, and piping up water feeds from the tender.
