3 1/2 inch gauge "Tich" 0-4-0T - stock code 11022

One of the nicest examples of a small-boiler "Tich" we've seen in a long time, LBSC's original design, this one with slip eccentric valve gear.

Built to a high standard throughout, with added detailing by way of handrails, lamps and sandboxes.

The silver soldered copper boiler has had hydraulic test in recent days, with new certification issued.

The engine runs on air as well as it looks. A particularly nicely made locomotive.
