Sold May 2024 Back to Archive

We last sold this one earlier this year - previously sold in 2021 (there's the writeup and some video of it in the archive) we steamed it at the time and were impressed at how nicely it ran - it sold as a running engine with full boiler certification.

It's recently come in as something of a stalled "project", the paintwork partly stripped and a leaking dome which now requires attention - the workshop notes recording, somewhat pithily:

"Runs on air nicely still, someone has been into the dome which now leaks, snapped a couple of bolts and then made a half arse job of sorting it out, off centre screws etc, it wants pulling apart and doing properly before a hydraulic test can be issued, the rest of the boiler looks ok"

A worthwhile project, with the potential to produce a handsome engine that's already known to be a good runner.

If ever an engine deserves a good home - offering experience rather than enthusiasm - it's this one!
