3 1/2 inch gauge "Hielan Lassie" - stock code 13198

A well-advanced 3 1/2 inch gauge LNER Pacific to LBSC's three cylinder "Hielan Lassie" design.

Work to date is to a good standard, the project apparently having stalled at an early stage of making the boiler, which currently comprises a barrel and outer wrapper.

Missing its axlebox springs, the chassis turns over freely when upside down - with new springs fitted we suspect it would run on air.

The tender is largely complete, the body loosely fitted to the chassis.
