5 inch gauge 0-6-0T "Butch" - stock code 9559

A 5 inch gauge 0-6-0T to the Kennions "Butch" design, an older engine built to a decent standard.

The engine turns over freely and runs well on air, notching up in both directions.

The copper boiler is silver soldered, fitted with four flue tube superheaters. It's had a hydraulic test, revealing several leaking firebox stays which will require calking before use.
