A 3 1/2 inch gauge "Tich" in "large boiler" form, superheated with Walschaert's gear.

An older engine that appears not to have been steamed in many years, it's fairly stiff to turn over although without tight spots - it needs cleaning and lubricating.

Paintwork is faded; there is surface rust to the running boards although the motionwork and valve gear remain bright under a coating of dried oil.

We've given the boiler a twice working pressure test - happy to warranty as structurally sound, there is one bead of water forms on a construction rivet head in the firebox and another on the nut of a longitudinal stay - both would take up under steam.
