A finely made 3 1/2 inch gauge "Tich" 0-4-0T to the LBSC design, this one the original small-boilered, Walschaerts gear variant.

Fit and finished of machined parts is good, platework is all neatly formed and fitted - we particularly like the neat cleading around the spectacle plate.

We'd put the project at about 80% complete, it requires boiler fittings and pipework, regulator and a lubricator. To paint or not to paint would be a difficult one - it looks very handsome in its current buffed steel and polished brass.
