A well-advanced 3 1/2 inch gauge large-boiler Atlantic to LBSC's excellent "Maisie" design. The engine has languished for some considerable period of time in an unheated workshop, gathering a light surface rust on the brightwork, however underneath is a well-built model.

Silver soldered copper boiler, feed by injector and axle pump. Slide valve cylinders with Stephenson's gear, pole reverser in the cab. Mechanical lubricator beneath front running plate.

Little expenditure required on this one other than time - workmanship to date would merit stripping it and repainting from scratch, there's the potential to make a really good example of this fast, free-steaming engine.
