A Great Western small Prairie to Martin Evans' elegant "Firefly" design. An older engine, it is in decent mechanical condition, has a sound boiler and runs well. The regulator leaks and will need attention before use, it is otherwise in good order.

Silver soldered copper boiler, 80psi working pressure. Feed by injector, crosshead and hand pumps. Gunmetal cylinders with slide valves actuated by Stephenson's gear with pole reverser in cab. Mechanical lubricator.

Hydraulic test 29-Mar-2011 @160psi, 80psi working pressure
