A 3 1/2 inch gauge Southern Railway S15 to Martin Evans' "Greene King" design, serialised in "Model Engineer" magazine.

Showings signs of only one or two test steamings from new, it appears complete bar the cab roof.

The silver soldered copper boiler carries a Northern Association number - well made, with neatly flanged plates and good solder penetration, we're told it was tested when built.

A leaking regulator prevented any meaningful hydraulic test but we would warranty it to pass a twice working pressure test once the regulator has been repaired.
