3 1/2 inch gauge Stanier Mogul - stock code 12261

A 3 1/2 inch gauge LMS Mogul to LBSC's "Princess Marina" design, an older engine made to a pedestrian standard with a boiler that looks like it's been dipped in tar, going by the state of the backhead.

A restoration job in every sense of the word, the boiler is loosely fitted to the frames and missing the main steam pipe. The reverser is not connected - currently not an issue as the chassis doesn't run in either direction.

Not sure what's happened with the tender, but it sits about half an inch lower than we'd expect.
