3 1/2 inch gauge large-boilered "Tich" 0-4-0T - stock code 10947

A 3 1/2 inch gauge "Tich" to the LBSC design, in large-boiler, Walschaerts gear form.

An older engine, apparently not run in many years. Free to turn over, it runs on air in both directions, outer dome is missing although a casting for same is available from Reeves.

We have no previous history for the boiler - it's silver soldered with nutted and calked firebox stays, several of which leak and will require recalking.
