A 5 inch gauge "Achilles" 0-6-0T, a well-built engine it's come to us direct from the builder, an experienced engineer also responsible for the 5 inch gauge "Tich" we sold recently.

Built with a commercially made boiler by Blackgates Engineering, it's an older engine - cosmetically untidy, in good running order although coming up to needing some rebushing to valve gear and motionwork at next winter's overhaul.

Boiler has had a recent test with new certfication issued, we also have previous club history including the last certificate running up until October 2020. There's a clip of it running outside the workshop here.
