3 1/2 inch gauge LMS Black 5 - stock code 9620

A 3/1/2 inch gauge LMS Black 5 to LBSC's "Doris" design.

The engine turns over but motionwork is fairly stiff.

On testing the boiler there was a steady drip from the cladding beneath the barrel - the boiler needs to be dismounted from the frames and cladding removed to investigate before any sort of meaningful hydraulic test can be done.
