We sold this one back in February to a regular customer of ours - it's come back in recently having been on display for the last six months, it's in the same excellent condition now as it ever was.

A particularly well made 3 1/2 inch gauge Mogul, winner of the builder's club's Challenge Cup in 1973.

In close to "ex-works" condition throughout, the engine steams freely and runs very well - there's some video of it here.

Although now nearly 50 years old, it appears to have had very little use from new - judging by the condition of the motionwork, valve gear and wheelsets, we'd speculate it's never actually been on a track.

Fitted with a pair of new safety valves, injector and clack valve, the commercially built boiler by Chambers passed recent hydraulic and steam tests, with new certification issued.
