A finely built and beautifully painted 3 1/2 inch gauge North Eastern R1 4-4-0 to LBSC's "Miss Ten to Eight" design.

The locomotive appears to have had little use from new; it was possibly kept for display after being painted as there is no marking or discoloration of the paintwork one would expect from an engine which had been regularly steamed.

The boiler has had a preliminary twice working pressure hydraulic test and appears free of leaks or distortion, with only minor weeps from a half a dozen firebox stays which will take up under steam. Without stripping the cladding - which extends to and includes the foundation ring - we can't issue certification, although would be happy to warranty the boiler as sound.

On our rolling road it ran well on air in either direction.
