We thought this one was a barn find engine, but apparently several barns turned it down...

An old, incredibly grubby small-boilered"Tich" with slip eccentric valve gear, LBSC's legendary design which launched countless model engineers (me included) on their careers in the shed.

The Salter safety valve is detached, although all the parts are there. The pressure gauge is a ghastly plastic thing off a cheap compressor, it needs replacing with something more suitable.

It's otherwise complete and the wheels turns freely.
