Sold October 2011 Back to Archive

A well-made large tank engine, based on the “Achilles” design but stretched to an 0-4-4T.

Silver soldered copper boiler, feed by hand pump in bunker, twin axle pumps and injector. Cast iron cylinders with slide valves actuated by Walschaert’s gear, pole reverser in cab. Twin mechanical lubricators.

Motion work is in generally good order, paintwork is pretty motheaten.

The engine is in running order although, whilst currently in certificate, the boiler is going to require work before its next inspection.
